But the team that trades for him has the option to pick it up if they want to, is that how it works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure but the option has a time limit but it is after the draft so it can wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said in another post that if Fields is traded it will be on draft day, is that just a hunch or is there a concrete reason behind that? Why not sooner?

jebrick Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 The bears should not be letting the other teams know what they want to do. If a teams thinks the Bears are keeping Fields they may offer a lot for #1. If they know the Bears are taking a QB at #1 there is less options on trading up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really shouldn’t overthink it. Because as soon as you pick Williams or Daniels (big board alert) Fields value plummets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are talking about the franchise and GM who traded a 2nd round pick for Chase Claypool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers, Falcons, and Raiders? Maybe New England? You have to think JJ McCarthy could easily end up on either one of Atlanta or Vegas.

I think they are sticking with him. I’d much rather have Geno. Are the Giants going to pay both Jones and Fields? Is Fields even much of an upgrade over Jones? idk I don’t see either of those 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my scenario where the Bears unnecessarily give away all their leverage and realize we are the only team in the running for Fields and we get him for a 4th and a late round pick swap better 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think those teams would give up anything big because of the cap of the other guys, more they don’t have a future at the position and the guy they have is overpaid-mid.

warfelg Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Peter King is retiring. I know there’s some good and bad about that. He was a fantastic story teller but in the Information Age he was a relic fast. On top of that he was quite open about not voting Steelers for awards because “the Steelers have too many HOF players”.

warfelg Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Rumor out of the combine that Washington might try to go to 1 to take Caleb Williams and Chicago would take Daniels at 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
