Justin Fields time in Chicago seems to be coming to an end as the team is reportedly set to take USC QB Caleb Williams with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
According to the NFL Network, the Atlanta Falcons are emerging as a possible trade destination for the former Ohio State Buckeyes star quarterback.
“If that all tracks, expect the Bears to be able to fetch a premium pick for Fields, who came on late in the season and flashed the potential he’s always had. The kind of leader he is in the locker room stands out, as well. This should be an active market, with teams such as the Falcons, in need of a quarterback but possibly drafting too late (No. 8 overall) for a premium one, emerging as an option, along with any other team that doesn’t believe it can land a top QB in the draft,” the NFL Network reported.
Fields has shown flashes of being a franchise quarterback during his time in Chicago but there’s been a lot of inconsistency. Not all of that has been his fault — up until this season, Fields hasn’t really bad good pieces around him.
The 2024 NFL Draft will take place on April 25th.
