“Justin Fields Sheds Light on His Departure from the Bears”
Although the Chicago Bears have moved past the Justin Fields era, discussions about his time with the team continue. Recently, an anonymous source revealed some unflattering details about Fields’ attitude and leadership in 2021.
Fields himself has recently shared more about his departure from Chicago. During the Pittsburgh Steelers’ start of OTAs on Tuesday, Fields told reporters that he had expressed a desire, through his agent, to join the Steelers, both before and after they traded for Russell Wilson.
Fields saw an opportunity in Pittsburgh following the 2023 season, given the offense’s need for a new quarterback after Kenny Pickett’s underwhelming performance. Surprisingly, Fields remained interested in the Steelers even after they acquired Wilson, a seasoned starter and Super Bowl champion.
Fields appears confident that Wilson won’t secure the starting position long-term, either by outperforming him in training camp or taking over if Wilson struggles during the 2024 season. This level of confidence is crucial for Fields as he seeks to improve his reputation in the league. Proving his doubters wrong begins with winning a quarterback competition against a high-profile veteran.
Whether Fields can surpass Wilson remains to be seen, but it promises to be an intriguing storyline for fans in Chicago to follow.
