Column: It’s easy to criticize Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles for the meager return in the Justin Fields trade. But his hands were tied.
chicagotribune.com/2024/03/17/justin-fields-ryan-poles-trade/
Quick Glance: Bears Trade Justin Fields to Steelers, Pave Way for Promising Quarterback
- The trade of Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears to the Pittsburgh Steelers cleared the path to potentially draft USC's Caleb Williams with the first overall pick.
- Fields is expected to serve as the backup for nine-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson, who recently signed a one-year deal with the Steelers.
- Chicago missed out on a significant opportunity by not trading the first pick for a substantial return.
- The historically quarterback-challenged Bears seldom have the chance to select a talent like Williams.
