It looks like the Bears are trading Justin Fields to the Steelers. The trade haul is pretty weak. A 2025 sixth round pick that can upgrade to a fourth-round pick, if Fields takes more than 50% of the snaps in 2024.
Wow again! That seems like peanuts for Fields and I can't imagine why another team did not offer more. Technically according to the NFL compensation theory, if you trade for a future pick, like a 2025 pick in 2024, the value of that pick supposedly slides back one round on the compensation scale. So, a 2025 6th round pick equals a 2024 7th round pick.
That's a great trade for the Steelers and basically dumping Fields for very little for the Bears.
