The Chicago Bears are exploring their options for the quarterback position in the 2024 season. The Bears have been hush-hush about their intentions for Justin Fields this offseason. The Bears will have to decide between keeping Fields or using the number one pick in the 2024 draft to select his replacement.

Bears general manager Ryan Poles has a luxury of choices to make before April’s draft. The Bears could keep Fields and trade the number one pick for a king’s ransom to build around their franchise quarterback. Or the Bears could trade Fields for draft capital to help build around Caleb Williams, the expected top quarterback prospect in the draft.

ESPN recently published an article projecting where the quarterback market is headed. Per Paul Gutierrez and Courtney Cronin, a trade sending Fields to the Las Vegas Raiders seems to be the most logical fit for the former 2021 first-round pick this offseason:“The Raiders’ offer: In this scenario, the Raiders offered second- and seventh-round picks in the 2024 draft for Fields. Champ Kelly, who was their interim GM in the last half of the 2023 season, was with the Bears when they drafted Fields, and although Tom Telesco was hired as general manager, Kelly remains with Las Vegas as assistant GM.

Some of this might hinge on how Telesco and whomever the Raiders hire as the offensive coordinator view Fields. But it makes financial sense for the Raiders because Fields — a three-year NFL vet who is younger than rookie Aidan O’Connell — is on his rookie contract and under team control for the next two years….

Why the Bears agreed: Chicago general manager Ryan Poles has repeatedly mentioned the “unique” position the Bears find themselves in this offseason with the No. 1 pick, which they didn’t earn by way of their own record (Carolina’s pick).The Bears have a chance to insert the top QB in the draftclass onto a team that has a solid foundation on offense and one of the league’s top defenses, which could turn them into a contender by next season.

So while the Bears may or may not want to move on from Fields, if they get an offer like this one — which allows them to recoup an early second-round draft pick — they would have a difficult time saying no. — Courtney Cronin, Bears reporter”

The Raiders need a quarterback for the 2024 season and beyond. O’Connell doesn’t seem like a long-term starter for the Raiders. Unfortunately for Las Vegas, they won too many games in 2023 to be in contention for a top quarterback prospect.

Fields might have been the Bears’ franchise quarterback if they didn’t have the number one pick in the draft fall in their lap thanks to the incompetence of the Carolina Panthers organization. Fields could use a fresh start with the Raiders.

The Bears would benefit from receiving a second-round pick for Fields. The Bears could use that pick to boost their interior offensive line or add a wide receiver for their rookie quarterback to throw to.
