Former Bears Teammate Says Tanking Doomed Justin Fields: Chicago Was ‘Playing To Lose’

The Pittsburgh Steelers began this offseason looking for competition for Kenny Pickett at quarterback, and after signing Russell Wilson and subsequently trading Pickett, they shocked the world by trading next to nothing for Justin Fields. Fields struggled during his time with the Chicago Bears, but that might not have been all his fault, as the personnel in Chicago was constantly changing and he didn’t have any stability. However, it seems that Fields might actually have had no chance to succeed in Chicago, at least if one former Bears teammate is to be believed.

Davontae Harris was a cornerback in the NFL from 2018 to 2022, bouncing around between a few different teams but spending most of the 2022 season with the Bears.
