The prospective trade market for Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields may have taken further shape Sunday after Russell Wilson announced he's signing with…
The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to release Jimmy Garoppolo this offseason, and they have no clear successor on the roster. They have the 13th overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, so that may not offer them much of a solution unless they move up into the top five.
Fields would be an upgrade over Aidan O'Connell, who threw for 2,218 yards, 12 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 11 appearances as a rookie. He's also the same age (25) as O'Connell despite having logged two more years of NFL service time.
The hiring of Luke Getsy as offensive coordinator in Las Vegas gives one some pause, though. Getsy and Fields didn't exactly set the world ablaze in Chicago, and pairing them up again could be a recipe for disappointing returns.
