Pittsburgh Steelers QB Justin Fields was selected by the Chicago Bears in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. While there, he started 38 games, losing 28, and looking like a liability nobody wanted to take on. Despite his talent, the Bears couldn’t fetch much of an offer for him this offseason on the trade market.
The Steelers finally stepped up after Kenny Pickett requested they trade him, ultimately sending the Bears a conditional 2025 sixth-round pick. At this point, it’s looking like Fields will meet those conditions, which will raise it to a fourth-round pick. But that’s still looking like a bargain, which Broderick Jones believes is thanks in part to his new environment.
