Quarterback Justin Fields’ future with the Chicago Bears has been nothing less than a swirl of speculations this season. Now, as the postseason is over, he has once again made headlines for his social media activity in the same context. Fields recently unfollowed the Bears on Instagram, a team that brought him to his NFL career in 2021. Consequently, his step has sparked intense speculation about his intentions and potential departure from the franchise.

The move comes at a time when the Bears are considering their options for the upcoming NFL Draft 2024. Moreover, with the No. 9 pick reserved for the Bears in 2024, rumors are circulating that they may select quarterback Caleb Williams. This uncertainty regarding the team’s quarterback situation has led to heightened tension between Fields and the franchise.

However, what has caught the attention of the NFL community is Justin Fields’ decision to follow three offensive weapons of another NFL team on Instagram. Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts, and Drake London have become his new social media interests, causing varied interpretations. One of the obvious ones is Fields’ transition to Atlanta with fans eagerly anticipating any further developments. Meanwhile, the Bears have yet to provide any official clarification on Fields’ social media activity or his future with the team. Also, Fields has a continued presence on Twitter, where he still follows the Bears.

With various mixed messages and rumors, the situation remains fluid and uncertain. As the speculation continues to mount, one thing is clear: Justin Fields’ social media activity has only added fuel to the fire. Thus, a flurry of reactions and suggestions followed with Atlanta being called a suitable new home for the Bears’ #1 quarterback.

Why Atlanta Falcons Present a Suitable home for Justin Fields?

As the 2024 NFL Draft approaches, the Atlanta Falcons emerge as a better destination for quarterback Justin Fields. With new hopes around Raheem Morris at the helm, the team offers both opportunity and potential for success.

The Falcons are in dire need of a franchise quarterback to lead their offense. Despite possessing a roster with playoff potential, their inconsistent quarterback play caused their elimination first amongst others in Week 18. Justin Fields, with his skill set and potential, could be the answer to their long-standing quarterback woes. Some other options could be Washington Commanders and New England Patriots, who deal with similar crises on their ends.

Despite their struggles at quarterback, the Falcons have remained competitive and narrowly missed out on the playoffs. Justin Fields would step into an offense equipped with weapons like wide receiver Calvin Ridley and tight end Kyle Pitts, providing him with the talent and support needed to thrive in the NFL. The Falcons’ offensive scheme could also fit well with Fields’ strengths, maximizing his impact on the field.

The online chatter is filled to the brim with rumors about USC QB Caleb Williams’ future. He recently declared for the 2024 NFL draft, solidifying his status as the frontrunner for the upcoming draft’s No. 1 pick. Fans and analysts alike are now anticipating the unfolding draft drama, eager to discover where Caleb lands.

The Chicago Bears hold the coveted first pick in the 2024 NFL Draft after the Panthers lost to the Jaguars in the Season Finale, leading to their 7-10 record. With this losing record and uprising doubts around Bryce Young, the Monsters of the Midway could be eyeing a quarterback, and Caleb Williams might just be the answer for them.

But does Williams really want to start his NFL journey with the Chicago Bears? Well, according to NFL analyst Colin Cowherd, Williams isn’t keen on the Bears. On his show The Herd“, Cowherd spilled the beans that Williams is more inclined to join the Washington Commanders, his hometown team, as he has spent most of his time living in DC. Colin Cowherd said,

“I think it’s possible that Washington trades up and Chicago allows Washington to trade up because Caleb and his group do not want to go to Chicago. He is from the DC area. The big concern for Caleb Williams is, you have to admit this. Where you land matters, Chicago has never developed a star QB.”

Cowherd suggested that if this is the case, Washington, holding the #2 overall pick, should swap with the Bears to pick Williams as their main quarterback. He also pointed out the Bears’ historical struggle in developing top-notch quarterbacks.

Following Cowherd’s remarks, the NFL community chimed in with their opinions on the ongoing discussions. Social media was split, with some football fans agreeing with Colin, while others dismissed his statements as ‘rubbish’.

A fan stated,

Another one wrote,

A football enthusiast expressed,

A social media user said,

A different one mentioned,

Someone else expressed,

Despite ongoing discussions about his future, Caleb Williams hasn’t clearly stated which NFL team he wants to join. Currently, the best guess is the Bears, a strong team with star WR DJ Moore. The Bears had a better season with a 7-10 record compared to Washington’s 4-13. The Bears are improving, and with a QB change, they could become a serious playoff contender, similar to the 2023 Houston Texans, who made it to the Divisional round with rookie QB CJ Stroud.

If Not Caleb Williams, Who Can the Chicago Bears Draft in 2024?

If the Chicago Bears go with Colin Cowherd’s suggestion and let the Washington Commanders pick Caleb Williams, they still have a good option in North Carolina QB Drake Maye. The critics are even thinking Maye could be the top pick in the 2024 NFL draft instead of Williams.

Maye led the North Carolina Tar Heels to an 8-5 record in the 2023 college football season, throwing for 3608 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions in 12 games. Comparatively, Williams had a similar season at USC with an 8-5 record, throwing for 3633 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions. Both QBs had a 4000+ passing yards season in 2022. Despite starting for just the last two seasons, Maye has proven his skill with a strong performance. So, if it’s not Williams, Maye looks like a solid choice for the Bears.

Talking about the Bears’ current QB, Justin Fields, he hasn’t dazzled in his three seasons, consistently landing the team in losing records. He hasn’t surpassed five wins in a season, and this year, with 13 starts, he ended with a 5-8 record, throwing for 2562 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions. Keeping his performances in mind, the Chicago Bears seem determined to switch up their QB, and they’re definitely eyeing a new one in the draft.

Heisman winner Jayden Daniels has signed with EAG Sports Management to address his public relations needs. He sure will need all the support he can get, considering the big year ahead of him. In their press release, EAG stated that the CEO of the company, Denise White, will personally attend to the former LSU star’s needs.

Jayden doesn’t intend to mess around ahead of the upcoming draft, as he even opted out of the ReliaQuest Bowl against Wisconsin to avoid any unnecessary hurdles that could hinder his transition. Several fans and pundits alike have already dubbed him a strong first-round pick contender, so it was only a matter of time before he signed with a company like EAG that promises to manage his public image with ‘utmost care and attention’. Daniels said in his statement,

I choose EAG due to their proven track record of working with high-profile athletes across the board. I am looking forward to working with such an experienced PR agency as EAG, and I am confident that their expertise will help me maximize my potential both on and off the field.

A post shared by Denise White (@denisewhite_eag)

According to EAG’s website, they have evidently signed notable athletes from the NFL. Former Saints QB Reggie Bush is among the array of talent pools that signed with the company. Former Vikings DE Jared Allen, 49ers DE Aril Armstead, Dolphins tackle Terron Armstead, and Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu are also on that list.

Daniels is certainly in the right hands, as the CEO of the company, Denise White, has made a name for herself in the sports world and was also featured on Forbes for reducing stereotypes as a ‘true pioneer’. White feels that the company was founded in an unconventional way because she had to spend all day out with clients and players, but it sure has helped expand from one mere NBA player to a multitude of athletes from all over the industry.

Is Jayden Daniels Set to Ink More Deals Now That He’s a Heisman Winner?

Before Daniels, it was only Caleb Williams who made the headlines about a serious round-one prospect. However, as soon as Daniels clinched the Heisman, he had even gone on to overshadow the former Trojans QB.

Just a month prior, when we were only getting into the Heisman announcement, Daniels had an NIL valuation of $1.6 million, which is nothing short of remarkable. However, as of now, his NIL valuation has gone up to $2.2 million, as per On3. It is only expected to grow now that he has defeated Oregon QB Bo Nix, WR Marvin Harrison JR., and QB Michael Penix JR. in the Heisman race. Daniels has notably partnered with Raising Canes, HeyDude Shoes, and Urban Outfitters.

We might just be amazed by his NIL value, but the former LSU star has shown a keen sense of financial awareness at such a very young age. After being asked what advice he had received since the start of NIL, Daniels responded, “All money ain’t good money.

Experts feel that Jayden Daniels could very well be drafted by the Patriots. After a 4-13 record, they are now poised to land a franchise-altering QB, and Daniels could very well be that. However, he does have some competitions to look out for, like Caleb, Drake Maye, and Michael Penix Jr.

This season hasn’t unfolded as the Bears envisioned, especially when it comes to Justin Fields. As the Bears approach the season finale, the franchise reported a new QB move ahead of the Sunday matchup creating suspicion among fans. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler dropped a tweet revealing that the Bears are trying out free agent QB Chris Streveler. Are things getting sketchy for Fields in Chicago?

The franchise was eliminated from playoff contention but has continued to create a shuffle. They are set to host their rivals, the Packers, who are in dire need of a win to solidify their playoff berth. The Bears in the meanwhile are shifting their focus on a new free agent QB as per Fowler via X, “The #Bears are working out free agent QB Chris Streveler today, per source.”

Chris Streveler, much like Fields, boasts a dual-threat capability on the field. The 28-year-old was placed behind Andy Dalton in his debut season but shone brighter in 2022 with a starting victory against the 49ers. And now that the Bears are trying out the QB with a similar set of skills, fans couldn’t help but wonder about Justin Fields’ future,

“Fields is done,” said one fan, commenting on Fowler’s post.

Another had a similar stance, writing, “QB Controversy Activated!”

Some also took hits at Streveler, referring to his time with the Jets, writing, “Couldn’t crack the roster on a very deep Jets QB room”.

A fan noted “Makes sense” after a difficult season for the Bears.

The Chicago Bears took their seventh win against the Atlanta Falcons with Justin Fields enjoying much of the limelight. He completed 20 of 32 passes for 268 yards and scored a touchdown. The 37-17 win over Atlanta ended up in an encore with fans shouting, “We want Justin!”

Not only this but teammates DJ Moore and Jaquan Brisker came on record to praise Fields for one of his best games. The Chicago Bears now own the first overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft. This comes in handy in considering the reshuffle headlines, especially as the situation has become intense after the revelation.

Could Streveler Replace Justin Fields?

Christopher L. Streveler has emerged as a dynamic American football quarterback. Turning 29 just a day ago, his rise has been nothing short of remarkable. His journey began with the Minnesota Golden Gophers, amassing impressive stats over three years. A transfer to the University of South Dakota elevated his game, where he shone with 6081 passing yards, and 54 touchdowns- leading him to the MVFC Offensive Player of the Year in 2017.

His stellar performance did not go unnoticed as he stepped into the CFL only to emerge as a dual threat. Notably, with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, he got the flavor of victory winning the 107th Grey Cup Championship in 2019. Fields, on the other hand, had a usual trajectory, playing for Georgia and Ohio State before being selected in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Transitioning to the NFL, Streveler displayed great adaptability. He signed with the Arizona Cardinals in 2020 and made his debut against the mighty Niners. Throwing for 105 yards and rushing for a first down, he soon got the public limelight.

He also had stints with teams like Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins, leading him to the New York Jets. In a Week 16 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, he replaced Zach Wilson, completing 10-of-15 passes for 90 yards while rushing for 54 yards. His alleged predecessor Fields, with the Bears in his two years, gained traction with his first career victory against the Lions in 2021.

With Streveler’s football trajectory now gaining traction, the NFL community is buzzing with speculations of an impending replacement. What’s on the cards for them has kept fans and analysts eager for the Bears’ upcoming moves. While suspicion may be arising about Fields’ future, the Bears are in need of a backup quarterback due to the absence of Tyson Bagent, leaving only Nathan Peterman as Justin Fields’ backup.

Justin Fields has picked things up for the Chicago Bears after returning from a left thumb injury. After a slow start against the Lions in Week 11, he has racked up four wins in the next five weeks. For their final bout, Monsters of the Midway will face the Packers, and Fields quickly captured the media’s attention with his bold comments about the opponent’s fanbase.

During his recent presser, the former Buckeyes star humorously quipped that the Packers fans, also known as Cheeseheads, will be super loud during the upcoming game as there’s not much to do in Green Bay except for watching football. He remarked,

“There’s not much to do in Green Bay except watch football,” followed by, “It’s going to be a great environment for us to play in, and hopefully, we’ll have a great game and get the win on Sunday.” 

It’s certainly something coming from a quarterback whose future on his team is in jeopardy. Moreover, his team is also dead last in the NFC North. Nevertheless, fans have taken his playful jab with grace and showered praise on the star QB.

Following a victorious game against the Falcons, the atmosphere among Da Bears was electrifying. Enthusiastic cheers of “We want Justin” echoed throughout the stadium, a reaction to Justin Fields’ remarkable performance where he amassed 268 yards and a touchdown.

However, the debate around his return as the quarterback in 2024 seems like a 50-50 proposition. ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler has noted that Fields’ recent playmaking skills have complicated the Bears’ decisions for the upcoming draft. He further added that the Bears might get a second or third-round pick for their rookie QB.

A post shared by Tanner Phifer (@phiferfootball)

If the team decided to double down and commit to Fields, it could make quite a dent in 2025. However, it could still turn out to be a bargain for a starting quarterback of his caliber.

However, the quarterback class of 2025, featuring talents like Caleb Williams and Drake Maye, poses a tantalizing alternative. Another layer to this complexity is the tension between Fields and offensive coordinator Luke Getsy. Fields’ comments about a less-than-stellar performance against the Buccaneers hinted at discord, suggesting Getsy’s system might not be the best fit for his skill set.

Previewing the Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears

As we turn our attention to the Green Bay Packers, their situation with quarterback Jordan Love mirrors the Bears’ quandary. Green Bay, opting for a one-year extension over a fifth-year option, has tied much of Love’s 2024 compensation to performance incentives. For instance, he will take home $500k if the team makes the playoffs, as per Sports Illustrated. Moreover, there’s a playoff berth at stake.

A win against the Bears would not only secure a playoff spot for the Packers but also boost Love’s potential of inking a lucrative contract extension with the team. The Packers have the home advantage, and it’s not like they haven’t already beaten the Bears this season. In their Week 2 bout, the Green and the Gold clinched a win with an 18-point lead.

All in all — the stakes are incredibly high, not just for the teams but for their respective quarterbacks. Fields, with his future in the balance, faces a critical test against a motivated Green Bay led by Jordan Love.

Justin Fields’ tenure with the Chicago Bears hangs in the balance amid criticism for the team’s struggles. Intriguingly, a recent stats comparison between him and Lamar Jackson has unveiled gripping similarities. However, on one hand, Lamar is enjoying focus with MVP talks and on the other hand, Fields is facing trade speculations, casting uncertainty on his future in Chicago.

These stats put up an X user Kevin Lapka reveal similarities between Justin Fields and Lamar Jackson. Fields boasts 29 touchdowns, 4,192 yards, 19 giveaways, and an 84.7 QB rating. In contrast, Jackson records 24 touchdowns, 4,449 yards, 15 giveaways, and a 94.3 QB rating. The disparity in team records, Ravens at 12-3 and Bears at 6-9, begs the question: why the stark contrast despite comparable individual performances?

The key difference lies in their offensive lines. Lamar benefits from the Ravens’ revamped offense under coordinator Todd Monken which boasts top-tier talent. In contrast, Justin Fields lacks the offensive support he needs. Many analysts themselves have expressed dissatisfaction with the offensive design, and even Field’s teammates have rallied for his retention. Somewhere, Justin’s potential has to be acknowledged despite offensive shortcomings.

The Bears struggle to secure wins despite Justin Fields’ impressive touchdown stats. If we sit back and observe game footage it reveals Fields lacks the support enjoyed by other quarterbacks. The issues may have stemmed from inconsistent offensive schemes or the offensive linemen being unable to withstand opposing defenses. However, centering the offense around the 24-year-old quarterback could be the key to elevating the Bears’ standings in the upcoming season.

Justin Fields Hints at Potential Trade Sparking Speculation About his Future with Bears

Justin Fields’ uncertain future with the Bears may be linked to their potential interest in drafting a top quarterback in the 2024 NFL draft. Notable prospects like Caleb Williams, Marvin Harrison Jr, Drake Maye, and Heisman winner Jayden Daniels could be on the Bears’ radar as they contemplate building their franchise around a high draft pick.

The Bears’ playoff hopes hinge on a 2-0 finish however, it would not be affecting Justin Fields’ position as a popular trade candidate. Fields has been displaying promise, but he might be impacted as the Bears are set to possess the first-overall pick in the NFL Draft, courtesy of the Carolina Panthers first-round pick from last year.

Justin Fields’ acknowledgment of a potential trade has stirred speculation about his future with the Bears. The likelihood of a trade looms, as he hinted at giving his all to Chicago. When evaluating potential destinations, it’s crucial to consider teams with uncertain quarterback situations and a lower chance of drafting a franchise savior early.

Justin Fields could join hands with the Atlanta Falcons, Pittsburgh Steelers, New Orleans Saints, New England Patriots, or Denver Broncos after the 2023 season.

Let’s dive into more details. The Falcons lack a reliable quarterback duo in Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke, despite having competitive pieces. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, Kenny Pickett’s struggles suggest a need for a new direction.

Moving on to the Saints, they face financial constraints with Derek Carr and could be stuck with him for another year. The New England Patriots disrupted their draft plans with a Christmas Day win and might consider trading for Fields if he aligns with their preferences. Lastly, Sean Payton could seek a fresh start with a younger quarterback, especially when he doesn’t align with Russell Wilson. They could explore a trade for Fields.

Chicago Bears are once again crumbling this season as they struggle with a losing record of 5-9. The Bears are feeling immense pressure because finding a solution for their quarterback problem hasn’t been solved yet. They went on to start games for the season with Justin Fields as they traded the top pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and lost the chance to select Bryce Young.

Recently NFL Insider Dave posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) in which Jaylon Johnson expresses unwavering support for Justin Fields confirming the team’s belief in him and highlighting his contributions. To Jaylon, Justin isn’t just a regular quarterback, but he is someone who ticks off many boxes for what they need.

Johnson clearly states that the team will support, defend, and encourage Justin as he is the team’s lead guy. He further expressed that the Bears QB is the one who leads the team, makes big plays, and handles tough situations gracefully. The Bears cornerback stated,

“He’s our guy. He’s the guy in the locker room. He’s the guy that makes plays. He’s the guy that leads us. He’s the guy that take everything off onto the chin, like if somebody were to step up further, as far as him. So I mean, there’s no one better.”

The 24-year-old cornerback thinks it’s crucial to keep those outside opinions from affecting the team. He’s annoyed that outsiders might try to create doubt about Justin. However, the Bears cornerback wants the team to stick together and believe in their quarterback without letting false rumors get into their heads.

Justin Fields started his NFL journey in 2021 and in his first game against the Cleveland Browns, he encountered a challenging experience. The Bears’ QB faced nine sacks in total, with Myles Garrett responsible for 4 1/2 of them, contributing to the Bears’ 26-6 loss to the Browns.

However, Johnson revealed that even when faced with dropped passes or being brutally sacked by Myles Garrett in his early days, Fields has been performing to the best of his abilities.

Is Drafting Caleb Williams Worth Destroying the Locker Room?

The situation in Chicago regarding the quarterback position has sparked discussions about the potential drafting of Caleb Williams and the future of Justin Fields. Former NFL player Richard Sherman’s statement is focused on building a strong team around their quarterback if the Bears want to taste success. He highlights that even if a quarterback is talented; it is hard for a team to succeed without a strong team backing them up.

Fields has been playing his third season with the Bears and according to NFL Insider Adam Caplan, Bears’ new GM Ryan Poles might be open to drafting Caleb Williams. Poles who did not choose Justin Fields in the draft, might consider selecting Williams if he fits the team requirements.

 

The Chicago Bears with their most recent 17-20 loss against the Cleveland Browns stands last in the NFC North. With just three games remaining in the regular season, their playoff chances have reduced to 2 percent. However, the Bears might look to bounce back as they face the Arizona Cardinals in the Week 16 matchup next Sunday.

Bo Nix concluded his five-year college football journey with a 34-31 loss against Washington in the Pac-12 Championship. Visibly emotional after the defeat, Nix finished his collegiate career on a bittersweet note. The Oregon Ducks could have secured a top-four spot in the College Football Playoffs with a victory on Friday night.

Bo Nix faced a heartbreaking moment after the Pac-12 Championship game loss. He was sitting in shock and shedding tears with his head covered with a towel as he realized he had reached the end of the road in college football. However, he marked a historic chapter as he holds the NCAA record for most starts.

Nix received plenty of fan support after he was visibly expressive of his emotions following the loss. However, some pointed to the contrasting reactions of Caleb Williams shedding tears after the loss to Washington.

 

Both Caleb Williams and Bo Nix are anticipated to be the top quarterback picks in the 2024 NFL Draft. That being said, Caleb Willams also shares a similar narrative of impressive gameplay and turning heads throughout his career. Looking at the reaction by some fans, the juxtaposition of the reactions exposed a growing hypocrisy in the college football world. Why should two perfectly capable quarterbacks end up facing differing responses from fans?

Caleb Williams Faced Backlash After Crying as USC Ended Their Season

Caleb Williams faced trolling from college football fans after shedding tears amid the challenges of his team’s 7–5 season. Despite the adversity, Williams remains resilient, choosing to see the bright side and using his experiences to fuel his growth as a quarterback. However, some fans took a harsh stance, labeling Williams as “undraftable” based on emotional moments.

Williams even faced criticism for not speaking to the media after USC’s 38-20 loss to UCLA, just two weeks after his visible distress drew attention. Despite the adversity, Caleb acknowledges this season’s stark contrast to the previous one. He would indeed strive to focus on the present while larger uncertainties about the future persist.

This college football season saw Michigan’s head coach, Jim Harbaugh, and the Trojans’ star QB, Caleb Williams, grab headlines for different reasons. Despite their distinct paths, both emerge as some of the most discussed figures. Interestingly, many believe it’s time for them to unite, joining forces on an NFL team.

Amid uncertainties at Michigan, Jim Harbaugh emerges as a sought-after candidate in NFL coaching circles. The 59-year-old coaching phenomenon was recently suspended for the Wolverines’ sign-stealing scandal, sparking rumors of a move to the big league. The Chicago Bears reportedly engaged in discussions about the same, adding fuel to speculation about Harbaugh’s potential departure.

Speculations have arisen about Chicago considering parting ways with both Matt Eburflus and Justin Fields. According to an article by the Sun, the Bears are in line for two top-five picks, and that’s where the USC QB comes in. Selecting Caleb Williams as their first overall choice and teaming him up with Jim Harbaugh could set the stage for a dominating squad.

With an ample amount of experience in the NFL and the college football scene, Harbaugh could finally turn things around for the Monsters of the Midway.

Chicago Bears Eyeing Jim Harbaugh and Caleb Williams Duo

The Bears face critical decisions that could shape the team’s narrative for the next two decades, aiming to break a longstanding pattern of inconsistent dominance. Dianna Russini, The Athletic’s NFL insider, recently revealed that the Bears are a potential landing spot for Harbaugh if they part ways with their current coach, Matt Eberflus.

Jim is certainly a name that is respected in league circles. (NFL) ownership is definitely interested in what he could bring back to the NFL,” as per The Sun.

Russini noted ongoing conversations within the Chicago Bears organization. The decision on the coaching staff and quarterback situation will play a pivotal role in shaping the team’s future.

The Bears could be a comfortable landing spot for Harbaugh post-Michigan, given his significant NFL playing years in Chicago. Come the offseason, Harbaugh might attract more suitors beyond the Bears and Panthers if he decides to leave Michigan behind.

The firing of Raiders’ head coach Josh McDaniels and potential coaching changes for teams like the Chargers and Commanders add to the mix. On the other hand, Caleb Williams emerges as the top prospect for the 2024 NFL Draft.

His stellar USC career raises anticipation for franchises like the Cardinals, Bears, and Patriots. However, Caleb has voiced uncertainty about declaring for the 2024 draft. He called it a ‘game-time decision’. Surprisingly, a return to the Trojans remains a possibility, with draft entry hinging on top-board team preferences.
