If....., a few of JF passes were caught, like Tonyan and even the hail Mary, Fields would have a plus. I am tired of hanging on, so bring in someone else and let Poles have his shot at getting it right. You buy in and are let down and I can now admit thst Bear fans are the most insane.

Keep that Carolina pick as a gift that keep giving. 2025 you have 2 firsts, if they have another high 2025 pick, trade that and so on. Eventually you can let your talent walk if you keep drafting well

I think they do go with the 5th year option. Fields may want a long term extension but that hasn't been earned. He will not like a rookie drafted behind him either but that forces him to do his best.

I chose 1, it will be a huge blessing if they can still draft MHJ, get a future 1st, and a 2nd this year, if not more, and take a QB later. The Bears still need more blue chips to help make any scenario work whether they go Caleb Williams or Fields. They cannot go with Mooney as a #2 or Patrick at C.

I am saying the 25 million 5th year option signed. Still draft a QB, but trade down and gain a future 1st for 2025, and whatever haul they can get. You have Fields for 2024 and 2025 and a rookie to groom. If Fields lights it up you have a good problem and hopefully a good backup. When his contract expires after 2025, you are either signing him to a huge contract or he signed elsewhere and the Bears will get a 3rd rd comp pick. You double down on having that position set.

Yes, I think this is what many of us see. If Fields improves with competition and he costs more to extend, then it is a great problem to have. If not, then in 2025 Fields walks as a FA. All while in 24 you have a prospect cooking.

Trade down this year and still draft a QB. This class has 6 or so that can go round 1. We traded up for Trubisky all while KC took Mahomes 10th in that class. The top spot does not mean you get the best.

And you have a rookie QB contract, so if you feel good with him you can swallow 25 million for the rest of the year. The Chiefs had Alex Smith signed for 2 more years and drafted Mahomes in 2017. In 2018, Mahomes started on Smiths last year so his salary was on the bench. Smith walked in 2019 and signed w Washington for 94 mil. Let's say the Bears trade out of 1, draft McCarthy or Daniel's at 10. Role with Fields in 2024 and see what 2025 brings. If you lose 25 million and get a Mahomes type, then it's OK to let him walk.
