The Chicago Bears hold the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and while they still haven’t disclosed what their plans are, many are already assuming they are going to use the pick on USC quarterback Caleb Williams and trade Justin Fields to the highest bidder.
According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, during the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, Chicago has received multiple inquiries from teams around the league. The Bears aren’t shopping the quarterback, given that they’re yet to decide what they’re going to do, but the discussions have been well-received as they’ve allowed them to measure his worth in the current market.
“Chicago staffers got inquiries from other teams on Fields in Mobile. And while the Bears haven’t shopped Fields, those conversations did allow the team to start to gauge the 2021 first-rounder’s worth out there on the market,” Breer writes.
All eyes remain on Ryan Poles and the Bears as it seems to be the first big domino to fall in the offseason.
