ESPN's Field Yates has put forth a potential trade scenario between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Chicago Bears involving quarterback Justin Fields. According to Yates, the Steelers could offer their No. 51 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft and a fourth-round selection to acquire Fields from the Bears. The analyst believes that Fields could bring a dynamic dimension to the Steelers' offense, addressing the team's struggles in completion percentage, touchdown passes, yards per attempt, and QBR from the previous season.

Yates also suggested possible trade offers for Fields from the Atlanta Falcons and Las Vegas Raiders, with varying draft picks and players included in the proposals. The Bears' impending No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL draft, coupled with Fields' rookie contract status, has sparked speculation about potential trade scenarios involving the young quarterback.

Despite ESPN's Adam Schefter labeling Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin as a supporter of Fields, local reports indicate that Pittsburgh is not actively pursuing a trade for the Bears quarterback. The Steelers are reportedly focused on quarterback Kenny Pickett and are not looking to bring in a new starting QB at this time.

Financial considerations also play a role in the potential acquisition of Fields, as the Steelers would face significant financial commitments if they were to pursue a trade for the talented signal caller. With contrasting viewpoints on the likelihood of a trade for Fields, the Steelers' quarterback situation remains a topic of intrigue as the NFL offseason progresses.
