Justin Fields is one of the most elusive quarterbacks in the NFL
After leaving Denver, the 35-year-old Wilson was slated to become Pittsburgh's new starter after trading incumbent Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles.
But now the Steelers also have Fields, who has been a starter for the Bears since their first-round draft pick in 2021.
'I'm ready for the next chapter', 25 years old He said it in X.
“I can’t thank the city of Chicago enough for welcoming me and embracing me.”
A mobile quarterback, Fields showed flashes of athleticism during his first two years in Chicago, but some wondered if he relied too much on his feet to escape pressure.
Chicago, which won just three games in 2022, had last year's No. 1 draft pick, but traded that pick to the Carolina Panthers for receiver DJ Moore and several draft picks, including Fields. I continued to maintain my trust in.
That included Carolina's first-round pick this year, but it became the No. 1 overall pick after the Panthers finished last season with the worst record in the NFL.
The Bears' record improved to 7-10, and Fields put more emphasis on the passing game in 2023, throwing for 2,562 yards and 16 touchdowns, but his rushing yards nearly halved from 1,143 to 657. .
But this time, Chicago decided to move on from Fields, missing out on the No. 1 overall pick for the second time, especially since several quarterbacks were among the highest-touted prospects in this year's draft class. I decided that it couldn't be helped.
“I would like to thank the entire Bears organization and owners for giving me the opportunity to be a part of such a historic franchise,” Fields added.
“But most of all, I want to thank all of my brothers that I played with. You're the reason I attack every day. I wish each and every one of you every success.”
Pittsburgh, which hasn't had a losing season in 17 years under coach Mike Tomlin and was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs last season, overhauled its quarterback roster during free agency.
In addition to bringing in last season's two starting quarterbacks, the team started Pickett and his backups Mitchell Trubisky (Buffalo Bills) and Mason Rudolph (Tennessee Titans) after Pickett suffered an ankle injury in December. I let him participate.
