Fields sat out the season finale against the Vikings on Sunday with a hip injury.

While speculation surges about his future with the Bears, Justin Fields spoke Monday as though it is a given that he’s the franchise quarterback. He talked about the upcoming offseason like someone with total certainty about his standing in the organization.

Fields talked about high hopes for next season, his role as the leader of the team — “It’s already mine,” he said — and his confidence in general manager Ryan Poles to use the wealth of salary-cap space and draft picks to make major upgrades.
