Chicago, Illinois – The NFL quarterback carousel is currently filled with plenty of intriguing names, including some familiar faces from the 2021 draft class. One such name is Justin Fields, the Chicago Bears’ first-round pick from four years ago, who may be on the move once again.

Fields was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers last March and ended up starting six games for them when Russell Wilson was sidelined due to injury. However, Fields was later benched in favor of Wilson. According to a report by Adam Schefter of ESPN.com, Fields is now seeking a starting role, as he hopes to secure a more permanent position within a team.

The quarterback position in the NFL is always competitive, with players vying for the coveted QB1 spot. Every year, teams sign free agents to fill these roles, only for them to potentially be replaced by rookie first-round picks. This dynamic is something Fields is familiar with, as he experienced it himself when the Bears signed Andy Dalton as their presumed QB1, only to draft Fields shortly after.

Currently, it appears that Fields’ options for a potential new team are narrowed down to the Steelers and the New York Jets. Ultimately, the decision often comes down to money, with teams typically designating their highest-paid player as the starter. However, this isn’t always the case, as demonstrated by the Atlanta Falcons’ approach to their quarterback situation last year.
