The wait and debate is finally over as the Chicago Bears traded Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday. After months of Bears fans and the NFL talking about what the Bears should do, everything can finally be put to rest. The Bears have been the talk of the offseason and the franchise is going in a new direction at QB. Players took to social media to give their takes on what transpired.
Current and Former Bears Players React to Justin Fields Trade
Don’t talk to me .

Chicago Bears players have publicly backed Quarterback Justin Fields all of last season. They believed he was the guy to help win it all, despite the up-and-down performance last year. One of the players who was very vocal was Safety Jaquan Brisker. At the end of the season, Brisker told reporters, “We all want Justin.” Obviously, with this reaction on X, formerly known as Twitter, he is not pleased with the move.

Today isn’t easy but it’s a business.

DJ Moore and DeMarcus Walker are two veterans in the NFL They too both have spoken very highly of Fields and wanted him to return. But with being a seasoned vet, they understand it is a business at the end of the day. It’s rare for anyone to stick with one team anymore.
Former Justin Fields teammate reacts
They didn't deserve bro anyway tbh

Trevis Gipson is a former defensive lineman for the Chicago Bears and was released before the season last year. Clearly, the former teammate of Fields voiced his opinion of the move. But fans and players continue to voice their feelings over this latest move.
Fields Impact in Locker Room
It is very clear Justin Fields had many supporters of players in the NFL. He was well-liked among his teammates and provided a great work ethic and displayed great leadership. The Bears players will certainly miss him and the new quarterback will have a lot of work to build relationships with them. With all that being said this league is a business and the stats and record of Fields, speak loudly. Plus, the league would seem to agree with his value as the Chicago Bears received a future conditional 6th-round pick.
