In two trades with the Bears, the Steelers gave up... Chase Claypool and a 6th round pick (potential to be 4th) For... Justin Fields and the pick for Joey Porter Jr.

I thought a 5th rounder was about right. Steelers might be ideal for him. They will likely keep Russ or him next year.

And here's the thing. All these petty moves and they still don't have a QB. Wilson is on a 1 year deal and he's anything but a franchise QB. Fields is a 6th round dart throw who may be out of the league in a year. 

If I'm a Steelers fan I'm not all that exited. They're still the worst team in that division.

Yep. It all changes once Wilson starts his demands when he first walks into the building. Fields will be starting there before long.

Justin Fields Trade Rumors: Unknown Team Made Better Offer to Bears Than Steelers Did

The Chicago Bears didn't take the best offer on the table for quarterback Justin Fields, according to ESPN's Courtney Cronin.

The Bears confirmed Saturday it agreed to trade Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a conditional sixth-round pick in 2025. The pick can become a fourth-rounder if certain parameters are met.

In addressing the move, general manager Ryan Poles said the team did "what is best for both Justin and the Bears."

Cronin reported Chicago made a conscious effort to consider the situation into which it would be sending Fields.

"A source told ESPN that five teams in addition to Pittsburgh reached out to Chicago, and the majority of those teams had envisioned the former first-round pick in a backup role," she wrote. "... The Bears had an additional offer with stronger draft capital from a team with an established starter, per a source, but chose to send Fields to Pittsburgh with the hope of putting the 25-year-old in a position to continue his development — first as a backup to [Russell] Wilson and eventually as a starter."

Poles told reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine in February that "I want to do right by Justin" regarding a trade. He did just that under the circumstances by sending Fields to the Steel City.

Wilson is the obvious favorite to be the Week 1 starter for the Steelers, but trading Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles left them without a viable backup or a long-term quarterback solution.

It's not as though the current version of Wilson is guaranteed to remain the starter for the entirety of the 2024 season, either. If the 35-year-old struggles out of the gate, head coach Mike Tomlin probably won't hesitate to make a change.

Well, Poles is a man of his word. That goes a long way with the players.

  .  This we agree on. My theory is why even bother with Russ? What's the difference, they're nowhere near ready to win or compete for that division, especially with a healthy Burrow and a loaded Ravens team. 

Why not take a nice cheap long look at Fields. What's the worst that's going to happen? If they suck they'll have a nice pick for next season. 

Winning 7-8 games is meaningless.

He's a friggin idiot, that's what he is. He probably cost his franchise a 2nd round pick worrying about Fields feelings. WTF do they owe Fields? He's been stealing money since the second he was drafted. 

And guess what? The players don't give a F about the GM, they care about winning and getting a bag.

Think what ypu want about Sean Payton but Denver gave up a shltload for Wilson and Payton simply told him to fock off by the end of the year. He should be out of the league.

Coming from a guy who thinks Fields will be out of the league in a year but thinks teams are willing to give a first rounder to the Bears for him.

Now I see how you got your name MaximumRetard. 

Classic old man who played peewee football and now thinks he's an expert.

I wouldn't say out of the league but he's not going to help anyone win anything. His attitude and ego is what wears on coaches and teammates.

Poles got DJ Moore, Darnell Wright, Tyrique Stevenson, possibly Caleb Williams or another QB, and a 2nd next year for a 1st round pick last year.

As shakey as Fields is at throwing the ball, he is up there with Lamar at running the ball.  Not a bad guy to have come in and run a wildcat offense or have on the bench as a backup.  Fields can be difficult to matchup for some defenses.
