I think it's just noise. I expect teams to be interested in Fields, but it doesn't make any sense for Chicago to start over with a QB like Young. I think the chatter is largely due to the time of the year...football is king, but there are no games and we are a few weeks out from free agency...they have to have something to talk about. Secondly, I think Chicago is probably feeding the media some of the nonsense. We're better positioned if the possibility of Chicago taking Young seems real. Ultimately, their goal is to drive the asking price to trade down as high as possible.

Regardless of how you feel about Fields, Chicago has to give him another year. Trading with Indy seems like the most likely scenario, and in addition to swapping 1st round picks this year, a trade would likely include Indy's 1st next year. If Chicago improves their OL, gives Fields another weapon at WR, and he still has trouble with accuracy, Chicago has Indy's 1st in 2024 (which will most likely be a top 10 pick with a better QB class).
