Cousins to ATL…Fields market imploding

Trade Fields to the Vikings.  Who cares?  When you play the Vikings, use a QB spy and he’s done.

Said it before, but if you have made the determination that you are upgrading at QB by selecting Williams, then trading a worse QB within your division shouldn't be a concern to the Bears

I don’t necessarily disagree, just highlighting that in division trades are usually tougher to pull off, but the Vikings did recently trade for Hockenson so it does obviously happen at times.

does not seem that the mcvay tree coaches are excited by him. Feel like chargers are more likely to trade for him.

The Vikings have seen him twice a year and they know he sucks.  They're not trading for him.

So we are basically down to the Raiders?

Raiders Tennessee NE all have openings just depends on what they plan on doing

I am assuming NE takes a QB (Jayden Daniels) and Tennessee will stick with Will Levis.

The Eagles replaced D’Andre Swift with Saquon Barkley.  If you didn’t like the Swift contract…

 

TBH, if you don't get enough for Fields, bring him back.

To do what? That sounds like a locker room disaster.

To serve as a backup?  I’d rather take a 3rd or lower round pick back if that’s all he’s worth.

Keeping him around as the backup does not seem worth it for the potential team issues it could cause. I think you trade him for whatever you can get, which at this point is probably a fourth rounder to be a backup somewhere else.

I figure it just means the Vikings add a bit of a premium - but I'm in the camp of - I don't love it - but I don't have an issue. I'll take max value for Field(s) wherever it comes from.

Fine - Fields for Mack LOL. 

Weren’t there a couple posters here that actually wanted to stick with Fields over drafting Caleb Williams?  I guess this goes to show the value of Fields to the rest of the league.  No one is jumping to make the guy their team’s starting QB.

Because he is better than any other QB on the roster.

I’ve seen some questionable rumors on Fields to the Raiders…I’d be absolutely shocked if Getsy wanted to pair up with Justin again, but would be sweet if they preferred that vs. trading up or taking Penix / Nix in the 2nd.

Not me and when you see people like Baker and Cousin(s) getting what they get - its just another reason why I wouldn't. I think you can win in the NFL paying HUGE money to a QB - but if you do it - they have to be a top 5 QB. Otherwise I think you are making a massive mistake.

He won't be once they draft Caleb Williams. Hell, he might not even be the best QB on the roster now. The gap between Fields and Bagent isn't much.

The gap between them is huge, and I am off the Fields train.  Bagents arm removes all competition between them

The Bears record was 10-28 with Fields as their starter.

Yet mediocre to bad QBs are getting paid.  Either you get something worth it as compared to what a QB costs on the open market, or you keep him around as depth.
