Justin Fields has four landing spaces after Russell Wilson is signed by the Steelers.
The start of the 2024 NFL free agency period was marked by late-night rumors that a well-known quarterback had found a new residence. The signing of Russell Wilson by the Pittsburgh Steelers will have a significant effect on the Chicago Bears in the future.
For some time now, there had been rumors that Justin Fields might join the Pittsburgh Steelers as their new quarterback. If Fields is traded by the Bears, his primary destination becomes nullified due to Wilson’s signing with Pittsburgh.
Which clubs are still in the running to acquire Fields through trade? Specifically, four of them make sense. Let’s quickly address each of these.
Falcons of Atlanta
Naturally, it still seems like the Atlanta Falcons are the top option. For a considerable amount of time, Atlanta has been the top choice for Fields’ suitors, and it makes perfect sense for both sides.
The offensive core of the Falcons, which includes Kyle Pitts, Bijan Robinson, and Drake London, is fairly strong. It just so happens that the missing component is under center, and Taylor Heinicke and Desmond Ridder aren’t definitely the long-term answers.
By striking a deal for Fields, Atlanta would guarantee that, instead of aiming for a quarterback or trading up and giving up a ton of draft capital, they would utilize their eighth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft on another position of need.
Fields would undoubtedly be content to settle in Atlanta because he is a native of Georgia. Yes, he does adore Chicago. However, the former first-round selection might be a great fit for the Falcons.
