This isn’t a Britney Spears song, but the Bears did it again.
Chicago just got worse by getting a sixth round pick for Justin Fields. Even if the Bears move up to a conditional fourth rounder if Fields gets considerable playing time, that’s still a lost investment for a quarterback picked 11th overall in 2021.
I get that the Bears were desperate. They wanted to hit the reset button on the quarterback salary clock, but if they were going to get nothing in return for an athletic quarterback, the Bears should’ve kept him.
But having two high-profile quarterbacks on the roster was something the Bears were afraid of.
