The Chicago Bears' decision to trade quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a limited return last month confused many, including some within the NFL.
Speaking to Mike Sando of The Athletic, an anonymous NFL executive said the following about the controversial deal:
"They almost got bullied or gave up. Their asking price was probably too high initially, and then when they realized the seats got filled, they had to lower their ask. I don't understand why you would make that trade because if somebody has an injury or doesn't get the quarterback they thought they were going to get, the ask will be higher.
