@sportschat Here's a thought, how about the Bears take Williams #1, and keep Fields with the intention of trading him mid-season to a team who suffers a catastrophic qb injury like Minny & Jets did last year...there's no reason now for the Bears to go all in with their seven duece offsuit,,,Fields value currently is at a low, but will automatically get a phantom bump in overall trade bait the moment a decent team loses their qb.
I've heard this theory elsewhere as well. And it does make sense. But that is only the case if Field's value is in fact that low.
In reality, no one really knows if Ryan Poles even shopped Fields. Was he even available for trade? Only Ryan Poles knows. He has been sneaky good at keeping his intentions to himself.
For instance, does any reasonable football fan with an average IQ believe that the Vikings passed on Fields for Sam Darnold? No chance.
So we'll see what happens. If they keep Justin and Draft Caleb, maybe it creates a healthy competition.
If I had to make my best guess, I think that he'll trade the pick for more draft picks. He's been parlaying these acquired picks into really good free agent signings and trades. The Bears are low in the draft pick department again, at only 4 for this upcoming draft. It's probably time to ante up again.
