Random Ramsdom: Could any NFC West team get involved in a Justin Fields trade?

Whether or not the Chicago Bears trade Justin Fields or the first pick, which many believe will be used on USC quarterback Caleb Williams, is the talk of the month, if not longer. It is crucial to keep in mind how low the Bears have set the bar at quarterback for the last…forever, even though Williams isn’t a lock to surpass Fields.

Take a look at this mark: when Justin Fields starts, the Bears are 10-28. Under Steve Spagnuolo, the Rams had a 10-38 record.

No matter how much you want to hold Fields accountable for those losses or how much you think Williams can win, the fact remains that the Bears will improve if they can just finish above.500 over the next few seasons. Given Williams’ age and salary disparity, I think Chicago will trade for the veteran and select the rookie.

Is Justin Fields going to play for an NFC West team? I don’t think so.

In an interview with WGN9 this week, Bears president Kevin Warren stated without revealing anything specific that Chicago is weighing all of its options with the top pick. Please respond. Should Trevor Lawrence be the quarterback for the Bears, wouldn’t they have already declared him the starter? Lawrence hasn’t been outstanding by any means, but he sets a reasonable precedent for teams to only cut their losses on quarterbacks if they are certain they won’t regret it.

Fields’ trade by the Bears, particularly for a second-round pick or less, is further proof that they don’t think they’ll regret it.

Fields is not going to be traded by the San Francisco 49ers or Los Angeles Rams. They can be ruled out for simpler explanations.

If it weren’t for Kyler Murray’s contract, Fields might be a good fit for the Arizona Cardinals. When Murray returned from ACL surgery at the end of the season, he was good, if not great.

The team with the most obvious opening at quarterback is the Seattle Seahawks. If Geno Smith is not released this week, there’s a greater chance the Seahawks won’t make a quick change at the

Many have mentioned the Atlanta Falcons as a potential landing spot for Fields, but I don’t see how he would fit into an offense led by offensive coordinator Zac Robinson, who comes from the Sean McVay lineage. The qualities that should be a McVay quarterback’s greatest assets are his areas of greatest difficulty. Fields won’t likely join the Falcons, in my opinion.

The owner stated as much in his press conference at the end of the season, so I won’t be shocked if Pittsburgh makes a major splash despite the rumors about the Steelers. that even if they attract competition for Kenny Pickett, the Steelers didn’t anticipate making a splash at quarterback.

Fields could not play well in a Sean Payton offense, in my opinion.

In my opinion, there could be two possibilities: either the Raiders bring him back to play alongside Luke Getsy, or the Titans bring him in to challenge Will Levis. But I doubt Fields could start anywhere in the league if Getsy tells owner Mark Davis, “Please don’t do this.” Depending on how Washington and New England use their draft selections, Fields might start ahead of a rookie who watches and learns. However, who has an opening for him right now if the Bears trade him, which is likely to happen?

You have to think that Fields can run a more conventional, under-center, play-action offense if you want to play for the Falcons. Where is the proof for that? More than 80%

Instead of a quarterback who is more likely to run the ball, Atlanta needs someone who can get the ball to weapons like Drake London or, if he isn’t traded, Kyle Pitts. The quarterback the Falcons are trying to replace is Desmond Ridder, who in some ways had a better season than Fields in 2023.

Where precisely would you put Fields if not with the teams that have publicly backed Will Levis thus far—the Falcons, Raiders, Steelers, or Titans?
