Bears trading Justin Fields to Steelers for draft pick

Russell Wilson will have company at quarterback in Pittsburgh.

The Steelers and Bears worked out a trade on Saturday that will send Justin Fields to Pittsburgh for a 2025 sixth-round draft pick.

Talk about the market drying up for Chicago on the former first-round pick out of Ohio State.

Chicago will almost assuredly keep the first pick in the 2024 NFL draft. Speculation is Caleb Williams of USC will be the player chosen with the No. 1 overall pick.

The pick the Bears receive could improve to a fourth-rounder.

Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting Wilson will start at quarterback and Fields will be the backup.

Fields was the 11th overall pick in the 2021 draft.

He was 10-28 as a starter in Chicago, throwing for 6,674 yards with 40 TD passes against 30 picks.

Field rushed for 2,240 yards and 14 touchdowns as a Bear.

Fields posted a classy message to Chicagoans.
