Chicago Bears to Make A Surprising Decision

The Chicago Bears have been one of the league’s most talked-about teams in recent weeks.

Sure, they didn’t make the playoffs or the Super Bowl, but with a major decision to make, everyone is wondering what the club will do.

Because of their trade with the Carolina Panthers last year, the Bears now have the first pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

The Bears are in control here, which is an excellent situation.

They have two options: draft a quarterback or another player they believe can help them win right now, or trade the pick for a king’s ransom.

While that decision is still up in the air, many fans believe that if they keep the No. 1 choice, Justin Fields will be released.

Adam Schefter recently hinted the opposite in a portion of “Get Up” on ESPN, pointing up the chance that the Bears could still retain Fields around, even if they select a QB with the first pick

Caleb Williams is largely regarded as the greatest talent on the board, a quarterback capable of transforming a franchise like the Bears.

 

If the Bears want him, they can definitely draft him.

Because Fields is still on his rookie contract, they believe they can hold him for one more season, hoping he matures and develops into the player they hoped he could be, potentially increasing his trade worth to another team in the league.

At the very least, he could serve as a solid backup for Williams.

In the end, the Bears have a few months to make a decision that will be closely watched.
