The NFL world has been waiting for the Chicago Bears to trade QB Justin Fields, and it finally happened tonight. Chicago is sending Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a 6h round pick next year that can move up to a 4th depending on his playing time. The Steelers have been shuffling their QB room, signing Russell Wilson, and trading their former first round pick, Kenny Pickett, to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Chicago Bears hold the #1 overall pick, and are expected to draft QB Caleb Williams. This trade locks the Bears into drafting a QB, and should let Washington know which of the other "Top 3" QBs will be available unless the Bears do the unexpected and pass on the former USC QB.
