The Steelers have swapped out Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky, and Mason Rudolph for Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.

In news that may not necessarily affect the Seattle Seahawks but is definitely relevant to the top of the NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears have finally sent quarterback Justin Fields to another team. The 2021 first-round pick has been dealt to the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he’ll presumably be backing up Russell Wilson this upcoming season. Chicago is only getting a conditional pick in 2025.

It was reasonable to think that this was always going to happen once the pick they acquired from the Carolina Panthers was numero uno, but there was some thought that the Bears might trade out of the top spot and give Fields one more season as the starter. Even if they moved on from Fields, the intrigue was how much his value would be in the trade market. It looks like he wasn’t worth a heck of a lot.
