Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles told reporters on Monday that trading quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers wasn't an easy decision.
"Probably one of the harder things I've had to do," he said. "I always kinda touch on the empathy part. Having that conversation with my own son was hard. [Fields' jersey is] up in his room. So it kind of puts into perspective how difficult those moves are."
But the team will be transitioning to a new quarterback, likely one it will select with the No. 1 overall pick in April's draft, and Poles spoke in very complimentary terms about USC's Caleb Williams, the presumptive frontrunner to be the first player off the board.
