The report clearly sets nothing in stone, especially with the draft still just about three months away, but the Justin Fields saga promises to be one of the most consequential stories of the 2024 offseason. The Bears have held the top overall pick in each of the past two drafts and traded back last year with the Panthers, who ultimately selected Bryce Young. Rumors have also been swirling that Williams doesn’t want to be drafted by Chicago and would rather play in Washington – who just happened to land one of his former coaches in Kliff Kingsbury as their offensive coordinator (as mentioned above). Should the Bears follow through on the report from Schefter and take Caleb Williams first overall, Justin Fields would likely be on his way out of Chicago this offseason. One of his potential destinations – the Las Vegas Raiders – likely will be off the list after the team brought in former Bears OC Luke Getsy as their offensive coordinator. His struggles to effectively utilize Fields could have led to the situation the former Ohio State QB finds himself in today, and it’s unlikely the two would reunite on the Raiders even with Vegas desperate for a signal caller.
