5 quarterback-needy teams that could offer Bears a blockbuster trade
Whether it be the no. 1 pick or Justin Fields, these teams could very realistically make a trade with Chicago.
By Ryan Heckman
A decision is going to be made very soon, and well before the 2024 NFL Draft. The Chicago Bears will have a clear vision at quarterback going forward.
Will Justin Fields be traded, and if so, for what price?
Will the Bears go with Caleb Williams as the franchise quarterback?
Whatever ends up happening, one thing we know for sure is the fact that Chicago is bound to make a blockbuster trade in the coming days, and any of these five teams could be the one to make it happen.
Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons are as quarterback-needy as they come. Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke aren't going to be the future under center. Atlanta has a great trio of weapons on offense for that franchise passer to be welcomed by, too, with Bijan Robinson, Drake London and Kyle Pitts awaiting their next quarterback.
Atlanta has been rumored to be in on Justin Fields this offseason, but would they really be willing to give up their first-round pick at no. 8 overall? At one point, ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. thought it was a possibility. However, I think the following deal is more realistic.
Falcons trade
The Bears get both a second and third-round pick in exchange for Fields, giving them multiple picks in the first, third and fourth rounds. The Falcons get their starting quarterback, while Chicago builds around Caleb Williams with all of that draft capital.
