If the Bears are all in on Justin Fields, as it appears they are, it makes sense that they would trade the #1 pick to get more talent for the team.
As they should, they are keeping things close to the vest.
According to Robert Mays of The Athletic, reports are coming in about what the Bears are looking for in a trade.
“The price that I heard from outside the top five is your one this year, a two this year, a first in 2024, and a first in 2025,” said Mays.
The first team that offered that, I would take it in a heartbeat if I were the Bears.
CJ Stroud has made it clear he does not want to go to the Bears.
C.J. Stroud, who could be the first quarterback taken off the board in April and was also teammates with Fields for one year at Ohio State, doesn’t want to be drafted by Chicago.
“I don’t want to go there. That’s his team,” Stroud said Friday at the NFL combine. “But I gotta do my own thing. I gotta go build my legacy. Me and him are brothers for life.”
Last week, Bears general manager Ryan Poles said the organization is leaning toward moving the pick.
“We’ve always leaned [toward trading back from No. 1] because Justin did some really good things,” Poles said Tuesday from the scouting combine, according to ESPN. “I’m excited about where his game is going to go. But, at the same time, when you sit in our situation at one overall, you have to do your due diligence. You have to investigate everything. You have to spend time with those guys just to make sure we’re making the right decision.
What do you think the Bears should do, and which team do you think will pull the trigger on the trade?
