Justin Fields, the new Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, had a message for the Chiefs Bears after his trade was reported Saturday evening. The Bears traded Fields to the Steelers in exchange for a sixth-round pick in 2025.
The Pittsburgh Steelers received a steal for their quarterback.
Depending on playing time, the sixth-round pick might become a fourth-round pick. However, considering Fields’ role as Russell Wilson’s backup next season, the Bears are unlikely to earn the fourth-round pick.
Justin Fields sent a message to Chicago
Even though Fields isn’t heading into a situation where he will be the starter, the fourth-year quarterback said in his statement Saturday he is ready for his next adventure. Fields thanked the city of Chicago and the Bears:
“Can’t say thank you enough to the city of Chicago for taking me in and embracing me. Thank you to the entire Bears organization and ownership for allowing me the opportunity to be part of such a historic franchise. But most of all thank you to my all my brothers that I played with.
You all were the reason I approached each day in the manner I did. I can’t thank you all enough for what you’ve meant to me over the last three years, despite the ups and downs. I wish each of you nothing but success. Ready for the next chapter!”
