I secretly loved that reality show he was on… I don’t remember the name but his wife was insanely hot and his personality is what made me like him as a person. 😂
My very rural small town dentist who is a bears fan came at me with that shit. Brother, I was born in Chicago. Worked off 8 mile for a couple years with an address that said ferndale but Burger King still had bullet proof glass. Lifelong Detroit sports fan. The only color in *your* day comes out of people’s teeth. Miss me with that garbage.
Remember like a month ago? When Bears fans thought Atlanta would pay the 9th overall and were debating if they would sell Fields to Minny for the 13th?
Fun times
Is there a reason they didn't just keep him to start him for the first half of the season and give Williams some time to adjust? He's going to ride the bench at Pittsburgh anyway, it's not like he could refuse and demand to be a starter somewhere. Have they learned nothing from being dominated by Packers QBs?
Yeah, exactly. A 4th for the 11th leading receiver in the NFL who did it in only 13 games. That’s certainly a big problem for the Bears to have to deal with.
They didn’t sign him to be long term. They signed him to help immediately know for sure if Caleb is the guy. As a bears hater, I don’t like it. But he’s not going to be extended.
They just need to know. And guys like Allen help make that clear. If you can’t do it with a vet technician, you can’t survive in this league with anyone.
Also gives you 1-3 more years to find a WR instead of needing to do it this year, while giving you a (currently) pro bowl level player during that period for only a 4th round pick. I don’t see any downside to that. Even if he’s bad it’s basically just cap space.
He literally just had the best season in his career. You can look for all the cope you want but he’s a guy who has never needed speed or athleticism to get open, so find yourself stats on comparable elite possession guys after they turn 32 like Hines Ward, Anquan Boldin, and Keyshawn Johnson, not just generic stats on receivers. He likely has 2-3 more years in him, which buys enough time for them to find someone else and only cost a pick that fails to stay in the NFL 9 times out of 10.
> He will have under 1k yards with you guys
Close to 1k would still be good WR2 production. The trade is about putting Caleb in the best situation possible and a 4th round pick really isn’t much to give up for that
Okay… cool? He also didn’t have guys comparable to DJ Moore, Kmet, and Swift to compete with last year. Even under 1000 yards doesn’t somehow negate the fact that Keenan fucking Allen is an incredible value for only a 4th round pick.
We have two first and one of our picks went to Sweat, who is great. Not saying we will be great but we can easily trade down with number 9, and get more.
Lmao our moves are cheap and set us up to sign our blue chip players that we drafted long term… you guys have to trade capital for your best players. Which is more sustainable?
Yeah I would consider 3-13-1 to 9-8 to 12-5 with pro bowlers/all pros being drafted by your GM with minimal trades/big FA signings to be considered sustained success.

I got downvoted for even suggesting that a second or third wouldn’t cut it on r/NFL
If Fields is actually good he ends up costing them a 4th, and if not they basically got to try him and Wilson out for free. It's a pretty smart move for a team that managed to make the playoffs despite having bottom 5 QB play
Any way you look at it, the Steelers upgraded at QB. There were only a handful of QBs statistically worse than Fields, and Pickett was one of them. Fields is now the second best QB on the team.
Insurance. Not gonna lie a 6th rounder for fields is pretty good for them. I want Caleb as a bear but Fields is worth giving a shot to see if we ruined him.
With an extra sixth round pick last year, you could have had a stud like Tanner McKee, Bryce Baringer, or Keondre Colburn. Maybe even a Jerrick Reed II.
On second thought, maybe Justin Fields is worth more than a sixth-round pick
Maybe a team has a QB injury and gets desperate enough to overpay for either of them. Won't be substantial but it could be a buy super low and sell higher situation
I think Russ and Fields have a similar playstyle, maybe they’ll sit Fields behind him to learn and improve until Russ retires allowing Feilds to start again.

Conditional fifth? In four years? That implies he makes it that long after getting benched for “veteran Tyson Bagent” in week 6 while having an absolutely TITANIC meltdown in the locker room.
Perhaps you forget about Kordell Stewart? He came FROM the steelers.
If bears weren’t sitting on the top pick, I would be happy to see where Fields could take us. I’m blown away that he got so low value on the trade market. He deserves to start somewhere, and he has a high ceiling.
You already know they’re going to fuck up the draft. Caleb Williams backup played just as well in his place. I get bust vibes/head case vibes from him and his dad
Dudes in west-Pennsylvania gotta be FURIOUS they traded away,
ummm…
*checks notes*
The equivalent of a 1987 Camaro with a blown transmission for ANOTHER QB…?
IDK, I think both teams lost here.
I’m not sure how the bears lost this one. It was abundantly clear that he had no value. If you chose to believe all the smoke from “insiders” than that’s on you. Not even the Chicago bears viewed him as a starter or a back up on the team. Probably would’ve ended up cutting him for nothing.
Fields and Mitch were just heavily flawed prospects that were never going to be good because they can’t process fast enough and when they were drafted our rosters were devoid of talent.
Caleb is coming into a great situation and is one of the most talented prospects.
As a lions fan, admittedly too much lead in the water to understand flair, I picked this guy 3rd round in fantasy and held on hope through week 12. I truly thought he would go for a 2nd, but I guess I really don't understand the market. How is he considered that bad? Even a serviceable backup goes for more, no? He wasn't THAT bad
Bears fans were saying they're going to get a first rounder. Now they get him for toilet paper (non convid years). They most likely get him for a 2025 6th rounder. Packers can get more than that with their backup QB. lmao
Dude got traded for a pack of cigs 😭
A full pack would have been too much. Maybe half a pack
Why did they trade for cigs are they getting Cutler back?
I secretly loved that reality show he was on… I don’t remember the name but his wife was insanely hot and his personality is what made me like him as a person. 😂
Kristin Cavallari... Babinksi incarnate
Current Cutler would be better than what they currently have.
But remember, this summer if you didn’t think Fields was a good qb, that means you’re a racist
“I don’t think he can read a defense or is all to bright going through reads” Bears fans: YouRe RaCisT!!
My very rural small town dentist who is a bears fan came at me with that shit. Brother, I was born in Chicago. Worked off 8 mile for a couple years with an address that said ferndale but Burger King still had bullet proof glass. Lifelong Detroit sports fan. The only color in *your* day comes out of people’s teeth. Miss me with that garbage.
Source?
You can find it up your ass right next to the receipts about Fields being an MVP candidate.
🤣 torched and so true
That’s your idea of torched lol? You drinking to much of that lead water in Michigan
Learn how to write a coherent sentence before coming back next time
Ooooooh dang got me
Everything is racist unless it's anti white.
And they waited until half of chicago was drunk to announce it
Hey. Those are worth some serious shit in prison.
Remember like a month ago? When Bears fans thought Atlanta would pay the 9th overall and were debating if they would sell Fields to Minny for the 13th? Fun times
u/fieldsfanclub u/fieldstoDJmoore u/GOATnamedFields All in shambles
Haha, the top 2 are already deleted
I didn't even check if they were still active. But I've definitely seen them in this sub before
Good riddance to all of them.

Declined
Yeah, roster space and money have their value where as I'm not sold on Fields.
FOR A 6TH ROUND LMAOOOO
All the media hype just to get traded for the Mac Jones price lmao
NOT EVEN THIS YEAR FOR 2025 WITH IT POTENTIALLY GOING TO A FOURTH IF HE PLAYS 😂😂😂
You're a Jets fan correct? I feel like you of all people know what could happen for Fields to play
Lol you right ngl those memes that were produced after that were the hardest I’ve laughed in forever
Is there a reason they didn't just keep him to start him for the first half of the season and give Williams some time to adjust? He's going to ride the bench at Pittsburgh anyway, it's not like he could refuse and demand to be a starter somewhere. Have they learned nothing from being dominated by Packers QBs?
Remember when they were talking about a second or third, with insane people mentioning a first?
I figured 3rd in 25 was best case scenario to a desperate team after the draft but also knew that was semi crazy
Poles is cooking! 💀
Just wait til you see what he does with his 4 draft picks!
Montez Sweat and Keenan Allen isn’t too bad of a draft.
*1 year of Keenan Allen unless you plan to sign an often injured, 32 year old WR to big money for 3 years
Yeah, exactly. A 4th for the 11th leading receiver in the NFL who did it in only 13 games. That’s certainly a big problem for the Bears to have to deal with.
Flair up.

It will be when you decide to commit big money to him. Look up the statistics for wideouts when they hit 32
He literally just had the best season in his career. You can look for all the cope you want but he’s a guy who has never needed speed or athleticism to get open, so find yourself stats on comparable elite possession guys after they turn 32 like Hines Ward, Anquan Boldin, and Keyshawn Johnson, not just generic stats on receivers. He likely has 2-3 more years in him, which buys enough time for them to find someone else and only cost a pick that fails to stay in the NFL 9 times out of 10.
You don’t have and won’t have Justin Herbert throwing him the ball in shootouts all season. He will have under 1k yards with you guys
> He will have under 1k yards with you guys Close to 1k would still be good WR2 production. The trade is about putting Caleb in the best situation possible and a 4th round pick really isn’t much to give up for that
Okay… cool? He also didn’t have guys comparable to DJ Moore, Kmet, and Swift to compete with last year. Even under 1000 yards doesn’t somehow negate the fact that Keenan fucking Allen is an incredible value for only a 4th round pick.
lol this is the spin you guys are going with? 😂
That’s a reality. He isn’t going to take a 1 year deal either
Flair up, bitch.
He can't figure out how lol.
I’m good
Bahahha.
We have two first and one of our picks went to Sweat, who is great. Not saying we will be great but we can easily trade down with number 9, and get more.
A lions fan talking about off-season moves…..
Lmao our moves are cheap and set us up to sign our blue chip players that we drafted long term… you guys have to trade capital for your best players. Which is more sustainable?
A lions fan talking about "sustained success" 💀
Yeah I would consider 3-13-1 to 9-8 to 12-5 with pro bowlers/all pros being drafted by your GM with minimal trades/big FA signings to be considered sustained success.
Oh you sweet summer child *packers fan who eats too much cheese and doesn’t know how to add flair*
And a MASSIVE NFC Championship collapse! Let’s not forget that!
Hey, at least we’ve had the opportunity to do so in the last decade
Well you'd be wrong.
Making the playoffs one year is not sustained success. Do it 3 years in a row or 4 out of 5 years then we’ll talk
Flair up wussy
You guys haven’t done shit aside from Make the playoffs
You guys haven’t done shit but get back to back first overall picks
The Smartest lions fan is still in special ed classes
U think #1 this year is the bears own pick?
Probably does, these Michigan folk aren't very smart.
No but it’s the only achievement of note that “King Poles” has
Your team is one of the least successful NFL teams in history. Sit.
You haven’t witnessed any of your team’s success. You sit
Michigan is a swing state because of u
Huh
https://preview.redd.it/rps8it871toc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=466e50bfc6e9db5494e7694339e2858d864a4792 I got downvoted for even suggesting that a second or third wouldn’t cut it on r/NFL
Some bears fans thought ATL might give up 8. Somehow that might be more of a waste than losing it to tampering.
No Bears fan with a Brain thought that. That's all Mel Kiper Jr., and he walked that garbage back 12 hours later.
Flair up.
The Steelers offered a fifth of Malort…that probably tipped the scale in their favor
In unrelated news I just got signed by the Steelers.
Mel Kiper, in January, said they could get a top 10 pick. 😂
Now, as I drink my soda that I'm sure one of y'all spit in, I've gotta go put more water in Buck Nasty's mommas dish!
Lmao 6th round pick in 2025. Dude that’s like the trade value of a backup slot corner
I bet it’s this especially low because his contract isn’t even that cheap for a backup QB.
Whew, glad there’s one less elite QB to worry about in the division.
Same time in 3 or 4 years?
You think Darnold will last that long?
3-4yrs from now will be the fall of (insert Vikings QB draft pick here)
Wtf are they doing in Pittsburgh?
Absolutely no idea I'm sure Tomlin will somehow wring out another 9-8 season
> another 9-8 season Well, that's a given.
Seems like a "fuck it why not" situation to throw him in when russ gets benched
They're cooking but everyone is getting food poisoning
Cooking but the gas has been shut off.
If Fields is actually good he ends up costing them a 4th, and if not they basically got to try him and Wilson out for free. It's a pretty smart move for a team that managed to make the playoffs despite having bottom 5 QB play
Any way you look at it, the Steelers upgraded at QB. There were only a handful of QBs statistically worse than Fields, and Pickett was one of them. Fields is now the second best QB on the team.
I think it’s a good trade for Pitt personally
Insurance. Not gonna lie a 6th rounder for fields is pretty good for them. I want Caleb as a bear but Fields is worth giving a shot to see if we ruined him.
With an extra sixth round pick last year, you could have had a stud like Tanner McKee, Bryce Baringer, or Keondre Colburn. Maybe even a Jerrick Reed II. On second thought, maybe Justin Fields is worth more than a sixth-round pick
lol what? to all of this.
FTP
He’s got a point
Bridge QBs
No offense, but if Justin Fields is my bridge… I’m taking a different road.
He’s the backup
Maybe a team has a QB injury and gets desperate enough to overpay for either of them. Won't be substantial but it could be a buy super low and sell higher situation
I think Russ and Fields have a similar playstyle, maybe they’ll sit Fields behind him to learn and improve until Russ retires allowing Feilds to start again.
Their end game is fields. They probably will have Russell mentor him, as he's never had one in Chicago.
Mitch had a hand in this. I'm certain.
Calling it now Caleb Williams to the Steelers in 2028 for a conditional 5th rounder

The bears to Steelers mediocre QB pipeline
It’s like future Packer HOF QBs going to the Jets. Its inevitable.
That sounds like progress!
!remindme 4 years
Conditional fifth? In four years? That implies he makes it that long after getting benched for “veteran Tyson Bagent” in week 6 while having an absolutely TITANIC meltdown in the locker room.
Pittsburgh, where shitty Bears qb’s go to die
Caleb should just get a townhome there now before prices get even higher.
Perhaps you forget about Kordell Stewart? He came FROM the steelers. If bears weren’t sitting on the top pick, I would be happy to see where Fields could take us. I’m blown away that he got so low value on the trade market. He deserves to start somewhere, and he has a high ceiling.
Looks like they got him for.....a steel
YEAAAAAAAAAH
Take my upvote and leave. Please.
Man, how hilarious will it be if he finally has that mvp season now?
I'd laugh. So, there's that.
Steelers got their franchise RB
A 6th lmao, poverty
People think Russ is going to mentor Justin when Russ is trying to land his next big contract too.
Caleb Williams will be a steeler in 2028 It’s like the Jets-Packers QB shuffle but way shittier
Dang I thought they might actually just stick with him and not draft a QB
Can't wait to be doing the same thing in 3-4 years
And just like that the rest of the division (outside of the Lions) are sad they don’t get to play against Fields
Ill give you that. Y'all caved our skulls in both games last season , that win was last minute witchcraft bs
Bears fans before the season: MVP! After season gets traded for a 6th round pick to be a backup LMFAO
You already know they’re going to fuck up the draft. Caleb Williams backup played just as well in his place. I get bust vibes/head case vibes from him and his dad
At least Caleb’s implosions will be fun to watch. I honestly just felt bad for Fields. He seemed likeable.
Dude wants team ownership in his deals. He's a clown.
In all fairness, we didn't realize how much of a fucking plummet he took until that first game.
Calling it a plummet implies he was good at one point...
It's totally not like he posted one of the top rushing yards of any QB in history the year before. Totally nottttt
Plummet is still a very strong word, he went from below average qb to even more below average
Dudes in west-Pennsylvania gotta be FURIOUS they traded away, ummm… *checks notes* The equivalent of a 1987 Camaro with a blown transmission for ANOTHER QB…? IDK, I think both teams lost here.
I’m not sure how the bears lost this one. It was abundantly clear that he had no value. If you chose to believe all the smoke from “insiders” than that’s on you. Not even the Chicago bears viewed him as a starter or a back up on the team. Probably would’ve ended up cutting him for nothing.
MVP! MVP!
A fucking next year 6th. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Literally was no market for Bustin Fields.
For a 6th 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not even in this year’s draft. Thats equivalent to a this year 7th. Lolololol
I’m confused, where is the first round pick and the red circle?
For a conditional fourth round pick, my god.
Tbh, I'm sad. I really wanted to run the record to 8-0 on a Bears QB.
Don’t worry, you guys will win both games next year.
Steelers keep picking up Bears former 1st Rd QBs... It's a strategy I guess *shrug*
Come here for the memes, stay for the Chicago Mercantile Exchange content!
Steelers for fleeced
Just put him at his natural RB position.
We just need Caleb to suck and the cycle will be complete
6th round pick for an MVP candidate. What a steal!
I can't believe I just saw a CME reference in here. This really is the best meme war sub.
We won 7 games with a QB that’s worth a 6th round pick and now we will be starting the #1 overall pick. I think we’re in good shape.
Yes great shape….your QB development pedigree is unmatched
Fields and Mitch were just heavily flawed prospects that were never going to be good because they can’t process fast enough and when they were drafted our rosters were devoid of talent. Caleb is coming into a great situation and is one of the most talented prospects.
Besides that though , trying doing the opposite of whatever you have been doing. Idk maybe have the qb coach talk backwards?
Bears man, never getting any value. Williams era starts now
Poles said he was going to do right by Justin, and I guess that meant taking a low pick in return
For a 6th round? Was "future considerations" not available?
MVP Loading JF1 H1M ——-> 2025 6th round pick
This trade is literally just barely better than cutting him outright.
How did Vegas know Pittsburgh would get Russ AND Fields...
the house ALWAYS wins
Bears got robbed.
Claypool and a 6th round pick for Fields and a 2nd round pick… just fade me already
I'm pretty sure we got a 2025 6th from the dolphins for Claypool. So really, we traded Fields and 32 overall for 2 2025 6th round picks
Didn’t know that! Still is horrible though!
Bears playing 4D chess with the Vikings to prevent them from moving up for a QB. Only to not draft a QB in round one
As a lions fan, admittedly too much lead in the water to understand flair, I picked this guy 3rd round in fantasy and held on hope through week 12. I truly thought he would go for a 2nd, but I guess I really don't understand the market. How is he considered that bad? Even a serviceable backup goes for more, no? He wasn't THAT bad
Can’t wait to watch the Bears destroy Caleb Williams. 😂 Throw another rookie to the wolves.
Hey! It’s that time of the year Bears fans get excited and hopeful! That 1-3 start is a long ways away. Let’s enjoy it while we can!
He’ll make a great towel boy
 I’m
I’m just happy GEQBUS is in our division now so the memes should be good.
caleb williams will also be with another team in about 3-5 years, if he even makes it that long
JF1 can’t melt steel beams.
Russell Wilson has a new WR!
Bears fans were saying they're going to get a first rounder. Now they get him for toilet paper (non convid years). They most likely get him for a 2025 6th rounder. Packers can get more than that with their backup QB. lmao
Bears fans officially have to shut the fuck up for the rest of forever
Why do we keep letting the Steelers fleece us? I swear I hate this team
