Pittsburgh Steelers Emerge as Favorites to Trade for Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields
CINCINNATI — The Pittsburgh Steelers are in the market for a quarterback. Could former Ohio State star and current Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields be their top target?
The Bears have the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and most experts believe they’ll take USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the top selection. If they take Williams, then they could trade Fields.
The Steelers have emerged as the favorite to land Fields according to the latest odds.
Pittsburgh is -125 to trade for Fields according to DraftKings. They were +550 to land him earlier this offseason.
The Falcons (+600) and Patriots (+650) are also among the favorites according to oddsmakers.
Fields reportedly has a good relationship with Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. Don’t look now, but there’s at least a chance that the former Buckeye returns to Ohio next season as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
