That's not the reason. It's all about the $$$$. Fields will cost $28 million for the next two years because someone is going to have to pick up his 5th year option.

If you're the Bears you reset the QB position with a chance of getting CJ Stroud in Williams. 4 years on a cheap rookie QB.

But Fields could not be around for the transition. The Bears were handcuffed and had to unload him. Pittsburgh could afford it because the Broncos are paying Wilson. And if after a year, they don't see what they want in Fields, they can cut him loose after paying a song this year.

We've seen it over and over again in both directions with QBs. QBs who don't fit with the team that drafted them but do well later (Goff, Mayfield). QBs who get the big money with their drafting teams then flame out (Wentz).

It's all a crap shoot. No one knows if Fields is a starting or a franchise QB. I would not be surprised after working with both Fields and Wilson in the offseason, that the Steelers decide to go into the season with Fields. The kid got dealt a crappy hand with the Bears. Having a running game, a decent offensive line, and a superior defense may unlock the flashes of talent we've seen the last 3 years.

Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
