When the Chicago Bears ended up with the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, there was little doubt the quarterback-starved franchise would use it to nab USC’s Caleb Williams.

That left former No. 1 pick Justin Fields as the odd man out. He was traded to Pittsburgh in March for a sixth-round pick.

Fields is now in one of the league’s premiere quarterback dramas opposite the aging Russell Wilson. 

Which flawed quarterback will be best for the Steelers’ odds? That remains to be seen.

Following the 2021 NFL Draft, Justin Fields signed a four-year, $18.9 million contract with the Bears. The entire contract is fully guaranteed.

Justin Fields’ fifth-year option was declined by the Steelers in April. Without a new contract, he will be a free agent in March.
