Bears GM Ryan Poles sounded as if a Justin Fields trade will be happening soon
Justin Fields traded sounds crazy, but it could happen. Ryan Poles the Bears General Manager was pretty clear when talking about his position on the NFL Draft.
The Bears are once again sitting at the top of the NFL Draft with the first pick, and it sounds like Poles is willing to listen to any and all offers, but if he is not blown away he will be taking Caleb Williams with the first overall pick. Which means what for Justin Fields?
“It just depends on what opportunities pop up,” Poles said when asked if he’d prefer to trade Fields early in free agency, presuming the Bears are planning to reset at quarterback atop the 2024 NFL Draft. “I will say this: If we go down that road, I wanna do right by Justin as well. No one wants to live in gray. I know that’s uncomfortable. I wouldn’t wanna be in that situation either. So we’ll gather the information. We’ll move as quickly as possible. We’re not gonna be in a rush. And (we’ll) see what presents itself and what’s best for the organization.”
When it comes to Fields, Poles says he has been in communication with his team.
“I’ve been in contact with his team and let them know kinda what we’re looking at,” Poles said of his communication with Fields, “how things might play out, and that we’ll continue to communicate. … It’s part of this business. It is a unique situation.”
It sounds like Justin Fields could be trade pretty soon.
