A split could be on the horizon for Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears. Several teams have been linked to the star quarterback, but which ones make the most sense in a potential trade?
The Bears sit atop theNFLDraft board for the second consecutive offseason. Last year, the front office traded out of the top spot, recouping several draft assets and adding superstar wideout D.J. Moore in the process.
Five teams that should trade for Bears quarterback Justin Fields
The Steelers are the “leader in the clubhouse,”according to ESPN’s AdamSchefter. Head coach Mike Tomlin is said to have an affinity for Fields, and Pittsburgh will be actively searching for an upgrade at quarterback after Kenny Pickett has failed to impress the franchise.

Another team linked to Fieldsout of college was the Falcons. The franchise ultimately chose Kyle Pitts instead, but with a void at quarterback, perhaps general manager Terry Fontenot will get another chance at bringing Fields to Atlanta this offseason. They have the picks and cap space to pull it off.

The Raiders currently have fourth-round pick Aidan O’Connell at quarterback, and that is it. If the front office doesn’t want to move up at the NFL Draft, trading for Fields could unlock a new dimension for an offense featuring All-Pros Davante Adams and Josh Jacobs.
