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.

Another NFL Bettor Makes $176,000 Out Of a $25 Wager in a Miraculous Christmas Week Parlay https://thesportsrush.com/nfl-news-another-nfl-bettor-makes-176000-out-of-a-25-wager-in-a-miraculous-christmas-week-parlay/ Wed, 27 Dec 2023 07:15:42 +0000 https://thesportsrush.com/?p=613304 Christmas came in hard for many teams but brought unexpected presents for others.

Christmas came in hard for many teams but brought unexpected presents for others. However, for a couple of NFL bettors, Santa came in with fortunes much bigger than they could’ve imagined.

Many wagers were placed by a couple of bettors on their favorite ten players, hoping for them to make touchdowns. The bets were made on Fanduel, with a parlay of bets placed in the ‘anytime touchdown scorer’ category. The Bets included different players from various games, including a total of 18 teams and 9 matches in the fold.

The Week 16 matchup was miraculous but also the bets displayed the bettors’ choices. The players included Jahmyr Gibbs (RB), David Montgomery (RB), Kyle Pitts (TE), Romeo Doubs (WR), and Kareem Hunt (RB) to name the first few. The later parlays consisted of bets on Breece Hall (RB), Derrick Henry (RB), Mike Evans (WR), James Conner (RB) and Raheem Mostert (RB).

The choice of players in the wager displays an inclination for the running backs of various NFL teams. What shocks a little is that most touchdowns in the season were made by wide receivers, with only Mike Evans and Romeo Doubs on the list. The lower probability of RBs making touchdowns and ending up in a fortune was in fact no less than a Christmas miracle.

The highlight of the parlay was Kyle Pitts and Romeo Doubs making the most profit for the bettor. Interestingly, a total of $176,466.33 was withdrawn by the fortune-maker who only had $25 at his disposal. However, there were more names on Santa’s list, being served with treats.

Parlay Picks Steal the Show with Christmas Miracles in NFL Betting

A tweet from ‘br_betting’ on Dec. 26 revealed another bet that earned the wagerer a staggering $489,000. The amount accrued from a $5 wager, which included 14 parlays on various NFL players.

Notably, the last two parlays were on De’Andre Swift, the Philadelphia Eagles running back, and Christian McCaffrey, the 49ers running back. McCaffrey is the obvious choice for a bet in the touchdown scorer category. He has the highest count with 21, tying in the first place with Raheem Mostert of the Miami Dolphins. They are followed by Jalen Hurts from the Eagles with 15 TDs, who did not make the betting cut for both the fortune-makers.

Three players made the cut for both the wagerers including Jahmyr Gibbs,  James Connor, and Raheem Mostert. They boasted 9, 5, and 21 touchdowns each, making the first two quite a unique but recurring option.

The unpredictability of the NFL never fails to amaze, but their on-point predictions had life-changing moments.  In spite of what the stats spoke, the underdog running backs stole the show. However, fortune favors the bold as it did for these two outstanding bettors, this season.

Justin Fields, the talented quarterback for the Chicago Bears, has come a long way since signing his massive $18,800,000 rookie deal. As the Bears placed immense faith in him, Fields has been proving his worth over the past couple of years. In his rookie season, Fields showed glimpses of his talent, leading his team to important victories.

However, during the draft, even the best players have to deal with their own fears and nervousness. In an exclusive interview with ‘The Q with Quincy Avery’, two years after living the great day, the young quarterback opened up about his draft day experience which was full of anxiety, hopelessness, and finally, ecstasy.

In the interview, Justin Fields, revealing his draft day experience, stated, “Before the draft, I’m thinking, okay, Falcons might take me, we’ll see. Boom, number four pick comes around, they choose my boy Kyle Pitts.” Fields then highlighted the uncertainty he faced as he watched the draft unfold, unsure of his future destination.

Eventually, the Chicago Bears traded up to rope him in, and his agent soon informed him of the news. Fields candidly admitted in the video, “I got the phone call before I even saw the TV. It’s funny because to really know the draft, you actually hear stuff before it shows on TV.


During the interview, Fields also acknowledged the impact his teammate Darnell Mooney has had on his career. He described Mooney as an extremely disciplined and dedicated individual. The two stars have spent countless hours together, going over plays and transitioning from college to the NFL.

Fields also emphasized on the importance of building close relationships with teammates, while admitting that not all NFL players are necessarily close friends off the field.

Justin Fields can make or break things at Chicago

Fields’ rookie contract, worth $18.8 million, reflects the Bears’ belief in his potential. This contract signifies the immense responsibility and expectations placed upon him to lead the team to success. Moreover, he has shown extreme potential in the last two seasons, finishing his rookie year with 420 rushing yards.

Moreover, in his second season, Justin became only the third signal-caller to record 1,000 yards after Lamar Jackson and Michael Vick. However, the Bears still ended up having a disastrous season, recording just 3 wins in 17 games. That’s where Fields will have his biggest test this time around. Along without churning out good individual numbers, he would have to lead his side to wins as well.

Kyle Pitts has missed three straight practices. Will he be able to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday?

Due to a hamstring injury, Kyle Pitts skipped practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Pitts has 10 catches for 150 yards this year. He hasn’t really matched his rookie self this season.

Pitts is in his second season and had a 25-yard touchdown run in the Falcons’ last game against the Cleveland Browns. As of now, the Falcons are second in the NFC South division just below the Buccaneers.

Kyle, without a doubt, is one of the most dominant tight ends in the game at the moment. However, he hasn’t had a great start to this particular season in comparison to other top tight ends.

Kyle Pitts Injury Report

The Falcons announced on Friday that Kyle Pitts has been ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In fact, Pitts is the only player listed on the team’s official injury report.

He did not practice all week due to a hamstring injury, so he is now unavailable for this divisional matchup. Pitts came into the season with a lot of expectations. However, his current injury reports indicate that he will have to wait a little longer to display his talent.

Pitts’ absence is a big blow to the Falcons and the injury to Cordarrelle Patterson has made matters worse. Drake London, Olamide Zaccheaus, and the young runners Caleb Huntley and Tyler Allgeier will receive more attention from the Falcons in the absence of the star players.

Marcus Mariota can also be looked as an option to compete against Tom Brady and Co. on Sunday. Without a doubt, the Falcons-Buccaneers clash promises to be an absolute entertainer.

Kyle Pitts is set to be a generational talent at the tight end position, but Cameron Jordan think that Pitts is lacking a bit when it comes to physicality.

Part of the reason many people believe that Pitts can explode on to the scene as an NFL tight end is because he has the perfect combination of size, speed, and skill. Most notably, the way he creates mismatches with his size and his ability to exploit those mismatches using his skill is why people believe he’ll be a phenom.

Yeah at 6’6″ and 246 pounds, Pitts ran a 4.40 40 yard dash. That kind of speed is simply unheard of from anyone of his size and position. However, Cameron Jordan from the New Orleans Saints had to downgrade Pitts in some way as a part of the rivalry.

Cameron Jordan Calls Out Kyle Pitts And Says He’s Ready To ‘Detach Him’

Jordan is one of the best defensive players in the game right now, and he commands a fearsome New Orleans Saints defensive line.

In the last four years, Jordan has compiled an impressive 48 sacks for an average of 12 a year. He’s compiled an impressive 90 quarterback hits over those four years as well earning a reputation as a game wrecker. He’s a leader for a Saints defense that regularly finishes at the top of the league.

Jordan didn’t mince words when it came to talking about his rookie division rival Kyle Pitts as he went off about him, claiming he didn’t have the body to be a tight end and that he should watch out for Jordan when the two play.

A post shared by B/R Gridiron (@brgridiron)

Jordan is one of most aggressive players in the league, so it makes sense that he didn’t hold back when it came to talking about Pitts. Despite all the hype and expectations around Pitts (rightfully so), Jordan doesn’t want to dabble with any of that.

At the end of the day, the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints are division rivals, and that’s how Jordan sees Pitts, as someone he needs to destroy.

NFL Rookie Contracts: Trevor Lawrence was the latest high profile rookie to sign his first NFL deal as put pen to paper with the Jaguars.

The Jacksonville rookie signed a four-year $36.8 million contract yesterday. The contract also comes with a $24 million signing bonus.

His rookie deal also comes with the standard fifth year team option, and the majority of Lawrence’s compensation will be paid between 2022 and 2024.

With Lawrence signing his deal, let’s take a look at the top five richest NFL rookie contracts this year. Note that several top draft picks are yet to sign their contract yet, so this deal will look at

NFL Rookie Contracts: Top 5 Richest Rookie Deals

#1. Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars: Four Years, $36.8 million

The number one pick in the draft is also eligible for the most amount of money. Of course, Lawrence is meant to be a franchise savior for Jacksonville as he comes in as a generational talent during his time with Clemson.

#2. Kyle Pitts, Atlanta Falcons: Four Years, $32.9 million

The Falcons tight end is no slouch either as his combination of skill, athletic ability, and physique is basically unheard of in football.

#3. Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals: Four Years, $30.8 million

The Bengals chose to reunite Joe Burrow with his prolific LSU wide receiver, and the hope is they can bolster an abysmal Bengals offense this year.

#4. Jaylen Waddle, Miami Dolphins: Four Years, $27 million

Another reunion with the hopes of electrifying an offense comes in the shape of a Tua and Waddle connection as the Dolphins are looking to give their young quarterback everything he needs.

#5. Penei Sewell, Detroit Lions: Four Years, $24 million

The Detroit Lions have a lot of questions to answer as they attempt to rebuild following the Matthew Stafford trade, but one thing is sure, whoever is playing quarterback will have a great tackle protecting him in Sewell.
