Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields recently addressed trade rumors amid speculations since the team secured the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. In a statement on the *St. Brown Bros Podcast* posted on Wednesday, Fields expressed his desire to remain in Chicago, stating, "Of course I want to stay. I can't see myself playing in another place."

Fields mentioned his fondness for the city, the fans, and the team but acknowledged the unpredictable nature of the NFL, saying, "It's a business. I ain't got no control over it, so whatever happens happens." Despite uncertainty about the Bears' plans, Fields emphasized his wish for clarity, stating, "I just want it to be over. Just let me know if I'm going to be traded. Let me know if I'm staying."

The quarterback's decision to unfollow the Bears and the NFL on social media was clarified as a temporary break from football as he prepares for a vacation. Fields also hinted at the possibility of returning to his home state, Georgia, to play for teams like the Falcons, who have shown interest in him.

While Bears' General Manager Ryan Poles mentioned considering what is best for the organization in dealing with Fields' future, there is still uncertainty surrounding the situation. With the 2024 NFL Combine set to begin next week, the spotlight on Fields and potential trade scenarios is expected to intensify.
