Overview

• The New England Patriots are considering a blockbuster trade proposal that would land them Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields in exchange for coveted draft picks.
• The Patriots have several options for their quarterback position, including trading for Fields, drafting a new quarterback, or signing a free-agent quarterback.
• Fields has shown improvement as a passer, averaging 197.1 yards per game and completing 61.4% of his passes, but has struggled when he needs to be a drop-back passer.
• A highlight video of Fields posted by the Bears has sparked speculation that the team may keep him as their quarterback and use their No. 1 draft pick on a receiver or trade it for more picks and players.
• Despite the speculation, Bears general manager Ryan Poles has stated that he will use all the time given to him to make a decision on USC quarterback Caleb Williams before the April 25 draft.
