Chicago Bears face crucial decision on these 5 players
By Ryan Heckman
5. Justin Fields, QB
Finally, and obviously, we come to quarterback Justin Fields. Entering his fourth year in the league, Fields will be subject of his fifth-year option and a future contract extension. But, what kind of figures does he deserve? I don't think we know the answer to that question just yet.
It is going to be the top subject of interest, in Chicago, until a decision is made.
Do the Bears take Caleb Williams at no. 1 in the 2024 NFL Draft? Do they stick with Fields and trade the pick for a second-straight year?
Fields has proven to possess game-breaking talent and ability over his first three seasons. He is always a big play waiting to happen with his legs. That, we know, for sure.
As a passer though, he is still unproven. Some might blame the system. Some blame coaching. Some blame play-calling. Some blame lack of weapons at times. Some might blame the offensive line at times.
Regardless, Fields is still a question mark, even though we've seen him capable of doing some big things. The Bears need stability, though. They need a long-term plan at the position. And, if the team winds up not being sold on him 100 percent, then you will see Caleb Williams in Chicago next season.
