Yet another day brings forth new Justin Fields trade scenarios, this time by Chris Trapasso, an NFL Draft and player analyst at CBS Sports. According to this proposed trade, the Las Vegas Raiders are set to acquire the talented young quarterback. The terms of the deal are outlined as follows:
Raiders receive: Justin Fields, 2025 sixth-round pick
Bears receive: No. 77 overall (third-round pick), 2025 third-round pick (upgraded to a second-round pick if Fields plays 75% of the snaps and further upgraded to a first-round pick if the Raiders make the playoffs in 2025)
Can Chicago get even more for Justin Fields?
This offer appears promising, but Chicago has the potential to secure a more favorable deal. Realistically, the Raiders face tough odds of making the playoffs next season, having finished 8-9 in the competitive AFC West. Even with Justin Fields performing at his best, the upcoming season will be a challenge, competing against teams like the Chiefs led by Mahomes, the Chargers coached by Jim Harbough with Justin Herbert, and the Broncos, under HC Sean Payton and potentially a new QB.

Optimistically, the Bears might elevate the 2025 third-round pick to a second-round pick at best. However, it’s worth noting that Justin Fields, known for his rushing, has yet to complete a full season without injury. While hitting the 75% snaps mark is possible, it comes with risks for Chicago. Personally, I believe the Bears could secure, at the very least, a second-round pick without conditions and an additional third-round pick for Justin Fields.
GM Ryan Poles, should remain patient in this process. With free agency approaching in about a month, there remains a chance that a team might be willing to part with a first-round pick. It’s smart to wait and see which team might convince themselves that Justin Fields is the right guy, and then potentially offering a first-round pick if the Bears decide to move on from him this offseason and select a quarterback with the first overall pick.
Should the Chicago Bears build a super team around Justin Fields?

Blah, blah, blah! The #1 pick will get a HUGE return and Fields ceiling is still high. If Waldron can do for Fields, what he did with Gino Smith, then Bears have the QB1 I believe he is. If Waldron succeeds, he’ll be off to run his own team after a couple years and the Bears will have a scheme for Fields to thrive. If Poles stays the course, (he kept Eberflus), I think he will want the draft capital more than he wants CW. IMO
Evidently the Raiders think either that they are just throwing an offer out there hoping Poles is drunk or has lost his mind or maybe he’s in Ryan Pace mode. Poles will get a great laugh 😂 and counter with one of his own a number one this year and next year. Everybody will laugh and carry on 😂
What is the entire question? You build a “Super Team” with or without Justin Fields. All the angst about “what should we do? What should we do?” If there were any questions, get out of the way and leave it to professionals. With all of these “pundits,” “experts,” “insiders,” even Brian Urlacher (correct me if I’m wrong: “great player but never won a Super Bowl or went to more than one with the GMs and HCs and coaches he played for in his life”), but if we were in an airplane. up in the air, would we be debating whether… Read more »
This offer sucks. Any trade for JF needs to at least include a 2024 2nd round pick.
WOW…I would not take that deal….I think enough work has been done to get, at minimum, a high second round pick plus more.
