Justin Fields to the Steelers for a 6th round pick?

[wood20ks]

I honestly don't think anybody really wanted him. Nobody will pick up the 5th year option and nobody will extend him. Good for Pittsburgh in that it doesn't cost them more than a cup'o'coffee to field 2 QBs as both QBs combined are only going to cost 5 mil or whatever. So they keep spending their money on the defense and hope the offense just improves enough that the defense isn't run into the ground. I don't know but we will see. Definitely expecting the Steelers F.O. to be looking at drafting a QB prospect at some point in the mid rounds or at least looking toward next year. Neither of these guys will be around for very long, imo. But they have to try because all they had was 2 back-up caliber guys before.

What this guy up here says........

 

[wood20ks]

they killed the market on Fields. It's completely insane to me and given he's going to Pitt he is going to blow up now.

And he does,a 6th turns into a 4th.......

You people crack me up.

You people crack me up.

he has to play more than half of their snaps in 24 lol. Better be hoping for a Russ Wilson injury.

Ryan Pace who did is long gone and no longer has a gm job......
Nagy is no longer a coach,he is an off coordinator for the Chiefs again.....living off Mahomes.

The Bears frequently switch hands. Regardless of their latest management staff, they still gave up a lot to get Fields, and disposed of him for very little.

How do any of you know its a 6th......??

It very well could be a 4th.....

And who cares,no one wanted him,otherwise he would have been traded sooner.....
You actually think Pittsburgh threw out the very first offer and Polles said deal??

Think about it......

I would bet Russ starts, first of all.

But yeah, Fields just isn’t that good at things GM’s especially care about, and his market dried out on top of it.

51% to be exact.....and its a chance......so again,how do you know??

Idk. I can see them converting Fields to WR. A RB / WR hybrid is pretty valuable. That would also solve their WR depth. They can run plenty of wildcat packages to keep defenses on their toes. At the very least, Fields is a weapon with the screen game and intermediate routes.

Rumor has it poles could’ve gotten more, but wanted fields to go to the place he would be most likely to succeed. Seems like a story the Bears seeded to look better, but maybe not.

And its still not the same regime......doesnt matter who did what,they are no longer here.......
Same as the Carolina gm that traded to no.1 last season,he left the Panthers a mess.....
They have new guys running that show now,so what happened in the past is not on the new guys.........

I read that story,it does not list the team.......it was written to make the Bears look better.......
Trust me,if Poles could have gotten,he would of did it......

Or tantrum.

Heres that story:

REPORT: Chicago Bears had chance to trade Justin Fields to team as QB1; GM purposefully took worse trade value

The Chicago Bears had a chance to trade Justin Fields to a team that would have stared him. They chose to trade him for less return value.

www.chicitysports.com

It does not list any teams.....I tend to think this is a clickbait story........

I don't know anything for sure. I'd say the odds are very unlikely.

What’s going to be real interesting is if Russ continues to struggle how soon do the Steelers pull him to play Fields and for how long knowing the conditions of the trade.

If they put in Fields and he kills it, a 4th is fine. If they put in Fields and he struggles just as bad as Russ, a 4th doesn’t look so good.

 

[DJ]

Pittsburgh needs to upgrade their OL, but at least now the Steelers do not have some statues at QB.

 

[Jiddy]

If he blows up then every team missed out because all kinds of teams knew he was available and chose guys like Howell and Darnold instead.

Sometimes the truth is staring you in the face.

Look,Pittsburgh didnt trade for Fields to be a backup there,they will be working him in the lineup a little slow at first and by week 8 or9,JF could very well have that job.....
The Steelers are paying Russ just a hair over a mill this year,thats peanuts unsallted,they can sit Russ and he comes cheaper than Justin......

What if Justin flops,so what,they still have Russ back in there and the Bears get what got a 6th.......

JF is probably gonna be more of a Trubisky and going to a full time backup imo......

 

[wilwhite]

What's great is that Fields can back up Wilson seamlessly - if Wilson keeps getting sacked they can put Fields in and he can also get sacked.

 

[DJ]

The Steelers added a good pretty CB and LB in Jackson and Queen. Its pretty clear they will play defense and run the ball, but they need to address the OL, either in players left in FA or draft or both.

Makes them look worse to me.
