Chicago Bears trading Justin Fields to Pittsburgh Steelers [View all]
Now this sets up an interesting scenario where Fields and Russell Wilson will be competing for playing time.
CHICAGO -- The Bears have traded quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday.
The Steelers sent a 2025 sixth-round pick that converts to a fourth-round selection if Fields plays 51% of snaps this season, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Fields, who completed his third season with Chicago in 2023, will join a quarterback room with Russell Wilson, who signed a one-year deal with the Steelers on Friday.
Fields is not expected to compete with Wilson for the starting job, a team source told ESPN's Brooke Pryor. Instead, Fields is expected to learn from the Super Bowl winner and nine-time Pro Bowler.
In a social media post Saturday, Fields thanked the Bears organization and the city of Chicago "for allowing me the opportunity to be part of such a historic franchise."
