Feel bad for Fields. He definitely has potential to be good. But this move makes sense.
Bring on Caleb. Let’s not ruin this one.

I believe Poles could have held out for a better deal. BUT.........that's water under the bridge now. Like you said, let's not screw up this draft.

I agree....mostly with not getting the pick until 2025.

IDK.
Even Ridder, Howell and Pickett were traded. Could be other teams saw what we saw... a kid with potential but didnt progress.
Russell Wilson is diminishing. Seahawks ate dead money to get rid of him. Payton got something out of him, but he wont do well in a run-first PIT offense.

Yikes. 6th is rough.
I would have kept him and made him joust Caleb over a pit of alligators.

This is another horrible trade by Poles getting fleeced YET AGAIN by the Steelers. I would of rather held onto Fields if this was the best offer. UN-REAL.

It’s terrible compensation. Not even a pick in this draft.

Yes it is...All we can hope is he hits whatever is needed this season to get us up to a 4th.
Poles is a good dude though. He treated Fields more than fair considering the situation and I think the locker room will respect that. I know this management/coaching staff is big on locker room culture. Probably for the best just to not drag this out and hope that Caleb Williams is just a dude that the team rallies behind.

Steelers got more for trading Pickett than they gave up to get Fields. Wrap your head around that one. Poles is TERRIBLE at trading and DOES NOT HAVE A CLUE when it comes to evaluating draft picks. NOT A FUCKING CLUE.

Which btw is in line with all the other idiots on this board. So maybe it makes sense.

Justin says buhbye:
www.nbcsportschicago.com
"Can’t say thank you enough to the city of Chicago for taking me in and embracing me," Fields wrote on X. "Thank you to the entire Bears organization and ownership for allowing me the opportunity to be part of such a historic franchise. But most of all thank you to my all my brothers that I played with. You all were the reason I attacked each day the way I did. I can’t thank you all enough for what y’all have meant to me over the last 3 years through the ups and downs. I wish each one of you nothing but success. Ready for this next chapter!"
Class act all the way.

I'm hoping Fields does well in Pittsburgh, he's a good guy and handle the ups and downs in Chicago with integrity.

It still has not sunk in quite yet......still a little shocked altho wd knew it was coming.
But if no one was calling for him and that was the best Poles could get,then so be it....
Its been noted Poles "wanted to do JF right",Im wondering if Poles went to JF and asked him how Pittsburgh sounded........

I had stated that I was okay with him staying, but that it probably was not the best thing. For Williams sake (and Fields for that matter) it's best if they do not have to go through the circus that would surround the two of them going into camp together.

No offense, but that's a stupid fucking trade for the Bears. Just keep Fields and draft Williams, you'd still be getting off cheap in your QB room. If Williams is a bust you still have Fields, if Williams does great, you would get a Hell of a lot more for Justin at the trade deadline when half the starters in the league are on the shelf. Idiotic
