When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded to acquire Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears, they did so with a deadline approaching in under two months. Since Fields was a first-round draft pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, he is entering the final year of his rookie deal, but all first-round picks have a fifth-year option that teams can exercise to get an extra year of team control at an amount that is determined by their play time and accolades up to that point.
For Fields, he has not been named to any Pro Bowls, so his option would fall under the play time category.
