During the NFL Combine, Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles addressed the pending decision on the No. 1 pick and Justin Fields’ future, saying quote: ‘It just depends on what opportunities pop up .. If we do go down that road, I want to do right by Justin as well.’ Skip Bayless and Keyshawn Johnson react to the GM’s comments, then reflect on how Fields should feel about his current status as the Bears QB.

Kean how would you feel if you were Justin fields and you heard that well first of all skip it all starts with communication communicate with me the words that I want to say I can’t say on TV don’t play games with me you you’re an adult I’m an adult I’m a big
Man you’re a big man let’s have a conversation because when there smoke there’s fire okay you didn’t say please we’re not trade Justin Fields you out of your mind we getting ready to build around our franchise quarterback you didn’t say that no he said the opposite you said the opposite yeah
We’re we’re we’re open for bids those conversations at the at the combine are happening not just with Ryan poles about Justin Fields but other players and other general managers but you don’t know about it Devonte Adams general manager said I’m not out of here get out of here he’s not for sale not
For sale that tells you right then and there he’s investing in Devonte Adams what Ryan poles is doing is playing poker but also leaving his quarterback in that gray area he says he doesn’t want to leave the quarterback here I’ve been traded before okay for two number
One picks of the Tamp Bay Buccaneers right before the draft right before the combine in the middle of all this what did you know about it before it happened I knew that they were going to trade me because they were not going to set a precedent for to redo my contract with
Two years left I had outperformed my contract and I wanted more money I just you know I performed it I’m not going to play on this contract after I’ve done what I’ve done I’ve shown you I can play let’s figure out a deal Bill simply said to
Me I can’t set a precedent and tear up your deal with two years left in it and now I have a her of players coming in here that plays well says I need a new deal I need a new deal so there’s an understanding there for me and him but
What I will do is I will move you so you can get your money we can get picks to build the franchise but what I need you to do is work out keep doing what you’re doing don’t worry about it I’ll work it out with Jerome and just stay doing that
Don’t say anything offse this was in the offseason same time period same time period I would do everything right by you don’t worry about it I got the Green Bay Packers on the hook I got Baltimore on the hook and I got a couple other teams let’s talk in a few weeks and
Let’s figure it out and that and don’t say anything to anybody okay that’s called communication that’s called communication now Ryan PO is communicating with Justin Phils which I don’t know if he did or not Justin Phils certainly seems like feels like to me that communication hasn’t been there
Because he completely scrub that’s the new thing scrubbing your social media he scrubbed his social media of the Chicago Bear stuff but he also went on the St Brown Brothers podcast and Justin Phil said this about the Atlanta Falcons which is a destination that he’s rumored
To he goes I think they’ve got a lot of Playmakers on the team of course bejan which is the running back Robinson they’ve got my boy Kyle Pitts which is the slash tight end receiver of course they got Drake London USC Trojan they probably need one more receiver but they
Definitely got some guys over there and their defense is was really good this year too so when you hear that I’m from Atlanta you know so now I’m like talking about a team yeah that I might want to go to because I’m not being told anything by the Chicago Bears so that
Tells me right there there’s no real communication that’s going on and this could completely be a disaster for Ryan po it could be completely be a disaster and I like Ryan it’s feeling like the bridge is at least on fire between Justin and the Bears if not burned to
The ground where Le let’s just say that Ryan poles tries to create a bidding war for Justin fields to see what what’s the best offer I can get and I’m going to go there what if he doesn’t get anything that he loves and he finally decides you
Know what let’s just go ahead and take Marvin Harrison Jr let let’s go ahead and let’s stick with Justin Fields if I’m Justin Fields I’m so unhappy with the way I’m being treated that it’s going to be hard for me to get my heart back into playing for the Chicago Bears
It’s always ski and I and I try to tell you and I try to tell Michael all the time Michael’s never been traded so he doesn’t know he only knows one team and that’s a star it’s very difficult when you’re disrespected to walk back into a building with the same people that
You’re looking at every single day and think that oh I just money’s going to solve everything especially if you’re the quarterback it’s hard exactly and his team here’s the problem in Chicago number one they got rid of they clean house on the offensive side of the ball so that
Means that they scrubbed everybody on the offensive side of the ball now you’re bringing in new coordinators and new everybody’s because you didn’t develop the quarterback so now you go and you draft jayen Daniels Caleb Williams and anybody else and they don’t have a successful rookie campaign
Are you keeping eflu as your head coach probably not no cuz he’s already on the hot seat Y which means that you now put a new offensive staff together so if I’m coming in as a new head coach I’m G fire that entire offensive staff that you just hired along with the
Defense I’m bringing my own people in and now the second year quarterback that you drafted has to start all over again again so guess what his position is he’s in the position that Justin Fields was one seeing with Matt naggie y so you keep doing this to this quarterback which
He’s there’s Patrick Mahomes at the moon and then there’s the second tier of guys Justin Fields isn’t far off that second tier he only played with one viable guy in DJ Moore that says that dude can play DJ Moore coming out the own locker room
And saying he can play now Ryan po can be smart and trade the number one overall pick because you’re not going to get the same value for Justin Fields as you are the number one overall pick and what I mean by that skip is if I move
Off the number one pick I can get just you name it what do you want I I can get three ones I get future ones I get some twos I can get all I can get my two back for sweat are you keeping Justin Fields yeah I’m keeping Justin
Fields but I’m taking that one and that one is going to give me I don’t know I’m throw a number out there six picks a couple ones a two or three maybe a five a flip Shan hands for Trey Lance gave three ones and a three I
Think it was I okay I’m getting picks but if I move Justin Fields I’m going to get a two and a four a five that ain’t that that no no you’re not going to get a lot no no but he can play you have to take a step back
And realize we don’t have anything around him he’s going to be with three four different coordinators couple head coaches like you cannot do a disservice to a young man that has the ability of adjusting Fields yeah you can’t I understand this you passed on Patrick Mahomes once for I think MIT trabis or
Whatever the case is and you’re now scared to pass on Patrick Mahomes 2.0 well that ain’t Pat stop stop with the Patrick Mahomes 2.0 don’t fall for the oky do believing you got to do that when you got something that’s already there but just I but I’m not the general
Manager it ain’t my job on the line I’m just here to give you the news not make the news all right I’m going to say it again Caleb Williams will be better than Justin Fields but he won’t be world’s better than Justin Fields I don’t know
That I don’t know that to be true well I I believe he will be okay I understand and yet Justin Fields started to impress me especially later this past season because he started to get a hold of it with DJ Moore because he hadn’t had a DJ
Moore so I’m giving you that that I started to see what I didn’t see before because I don’t know if he’s a great thrower of the football and the year before he was running like Eric Dickerson like I I I couldn’t believe like a long Strider he would get
Unleashed and you’d say my God that that’s hard to to deal with okay last year he started to throw the football the way he did in in spurts at at Ohio State and and yet I will give you this after you read me those quotes from that podcast
If you did send him to Atlanta and he does get to connect with beon and Drake and Kyle Pitts Lord have mercy it it it would be a sweet fit what you what if you sent to Pittsburgh you know with Mike Tomlin and N Harris and what they
Have yeah what if you did that yeah plus you’d have a defense a better defense yeah right but Atlanta’s defense was okay but what if you did that though yeah I don’t know just the fit of him being from he’s from a suburb of Atlanta but he’s from the Atlanta area
You you put him there with that kind of Firepower they could go places of so so if I’m Atlanta I and we’re you know what these conversations are probably transpiring as we speak do you think he had good coaching in Chicago no because the coach is a
Defensive coach to start with I watched them in training camp I was in Chicago I went to their training camp okay and I saw that I said this has got to be one of the worst teams that I I went to see the Rams in training camp the cowo Boys
In training camp Chicago in training camp and I said that out of all the three Chicago was the worst team and guess what they were the worst team yeah because the Rams went to the playoffs and so did the Cowboys Chicago was the worst team I mean the receivers were out
There playing volleyball with the football which means they batting it down even though it’s in the hands I’m watching it and I’m looking at it I’m saying there’s no way that they’re going to survive this right here but the last five or six games they started look like
A football team maybe they started playing better and if that’s an indication of what can roll over into the next year why would you dismantle the offensive coaching staff bring in a new coaching staff and then bring in a new quarterback but then if it don’t go
Well you’re GNA fire everybody and now that Caleb Jaden whoever it is has to start all over I don’t even know if they’re fixated on Caleb it may be Jaden it may may may be whoever it is if you move off of if you move off of Justin
They’re going to be starting over again in 2025 any damn way yeah cuz they’re not going to be good enough hey all I know is with remarks like that that we just heard from Ryan poles that gray area that he’s talking about you just put Justin fields in that gray area and
You hung him out to dry in a way I don’t think you can get back you know what’s so funny this this is like the Kyle Steve wil deel yeah simple question is he your defensive coordinator don’t give me the don’t give me the Well everybody’s under contract don’t do that
Just say no I’m getting rid of him and two hours later you get rid of him you called it just that day we first discussed yes this is the same thing just say you we we we we’re looking at all our options and I’ve talked to
Justin and and we’re in the same you know uh communication level and we’re going to do right by him if there’s an opportunity we’re going to move clear he was send a signal to everybody we’re open for business you want to bid join the auction he’s trying to create an
Auction for Justin Fields because he de what happens what happens in that situation no skip is if all of a sudden you don’t get the offers that you need for Justin and you have to take him back after you already UND dangle him out there that’s not going to feel good no

bears just need to cut their losses with fields…kid has loss confidence and just wasn't that good enough for the nfl defenses…just that simple…it happens…its part of the game to be draft busts whereas guys like brock purdy can be drafted last and raise their franchise to conference championships….
heres a note…if a kid does well in spread offense in college…and you draft said kid…don't put him under center….
Key a hater
justin fields was rated a 74 in john madden if im not mistaken…madden 23….uhm…thats a back up at best…just call him a bust and be done with it…
nobody wants justin fields for what the bears gonna want for him….atlanta and chicago play in the same conference…bears would have to go dirt low in order for atl to take him…
Skip thought about how he treated Shannon when Key said “it’s hard to work when you are disrespected” 😂
Skip the JF1 hater and always have been. 😂
I will not tolerate this Cole Kmet slander.
If I’m the bears I’m taking a draft haul for that number one pick and rebuilding that team around fields. The bears would have the capital to walk out of this draft just in the first two rounds to get another top receiver, a starting tackle and guard to rebuild the offensive line and a pass rusher. That’s going to get this programme far better now and moving forward and if fields doesn’t deliver you go grab a qb next year
If Poles publicly announces that he is not taking bids on Justin, it would imply that he is not interested in Caleb Williams, who is a highly sought-after quarterback. However, Poles actually wants a team that needs a quarterback so badly that they are willing to pay a hefty price to acquire Caleb Williams from us instead of our competitors, Atlanta or Washington. If Washington knows that they can get Caleb at the second position in the draft, they won't pay us for him. That is why Poles won't reveal his hand and make his intentions known. Essentially, Poles needs a QB-needy team to be interested in Caleb Williams so much that they are willing to offer us a better deal than our competitors. If Poles were to reveal that he is not taking bids on Justin, it would suggest that he is not interested in Caleb, which could lead to Washington not paying us for him. Therefore, Poles is keeping his intentions secret to get the best possible deal. Let's stop the prodding.
So we ignore him saying he wants to stay in Chicago and he can’t see himself playing somewhere else he talked about the falcons cause he was asked about them
Most brilliant move ever trade a #1 overall for what become a 2nd #1 overall. Draft Caleb, trade fields for a 1st, then you have Caleb AND 2 more 1st rounders!
Sports journalism is dead. The nfl isn't a charity. The guy hasn't gotten better in 3 years and this will be two years they passed in the top pick
Fields cannot play….trubisky was better
Trade with commanders. Get the two pick and some others, get Marvin Harrison jr
Skip and key make scenarios anywhere but in Chicago we know clearly the bears do not have a structure right now and haven’t for year in a sports team you need multiple stars to Be at the top we have none but just field for now. Harrison jr over Williams to the bears all day
I would trade DeShaun Watson if they would take over part of the contract for Justin fields. And I would want Justin fields to play first team Cleveland browns offense I would trade DeShaun Watson for Justin fields in a minute bring him to Cleveland we need him
The Bears Will Fail any quarterback They draft
The Chicago Bears Needs A Offensive Line Not A Quarterback, Skip Bayless Doesn't Know Anything About Football Because The Offensive Line Is The Most Important Thing In Football!!!!!!! Without A Strong Solid Offensive Line You Are Not Going To Win Any Games Because It Doesn't Matter What Quarterback You Have!!!!!!!!! 🎯💯🤔🏈
“He didn’t say we’re going to build around our franchise quarterback, he said the opposite” music to my ears
0:30 what a moronic statement. Do you really think Poles would tell media the plan? Keyshawn should know better as a former player. Oh, also 2:52 Fields did NOT “scrub” IG of Chicago Bears stuff. He simply unfollowed NFL and Bears to block noise out while on vacation. Fields said on interview last week when he was talking about the Instagram stuff the he wants to be in Chicago. Wtf, media is so dumb most times. Fields didn’t talk about Atlanta, he was asked a question question about them! Jeez.
Skip only saying Caleb better is because he was a sooner 🤣 that boy Grade A Trash 🗑️
The Bears would be dumb to not trade the #1 pick to Washington. Get the picks!!! Worst case scenario you build a great team and set yourself up for the future, and Justin don't workout. You still can draft or sign a QB to a great team and be setup to contend for years. Not to mention you can draft BO NIX in the second for insurance now.
Keyshawn is just upset because the Bears 🐻 aren’t doing what he thinks they should do. Poles wants to pick his own QB and reset the rookie contract instead of paying Fields 40mill in 2 years.
National media has no clue about what the Bears 🐻 are doing. They’re just throwing darts 🎯 in the dark
Fields has talent get him some help and a better system/coaching he’d flourish imo but Chicago ain’t about that
The people who are biased because they want Mitchell Trubisky or Rex Grossman. Keyshawn explained it on every level. The Bears are in danger of another 38 years without Super Bowl victory. Words can not describe the willful prejudice that people have. The Bears gave up three picks to move from 1 spot to pick their MT or new version of Rex Grossman. They missed drafting Mahomes and gave up many of the Bears picks. Pace got embarrassed about it because Watson and Mahomes were excellent that year. Lamar Jackson who the old guard wanted to make into a WR, he was incredible that year. Pace needed to make up for his terrible mistakes move up to get Justine Fields. All these Justine Haters miss the obvious because they want to. I hope that the Bears do not select CW because I do not believe CW will get a fair shake here in Chicago. I hope that Poles knows what he is doing, but Keyshawn has a very good understanding of Football on all angles of the game.
Here's the thing… if you trade Justin Fields when you never gave him an oline and 1 elite WR for Caleb Williams, who will also not have an oline and an elite receiver and he fails, what then? Now on the other hand, he may be the next Patrick Mahomes and you would live with that forever. It almost makes the most sense to trade Justin Fields for the off shoot chance Caleb Williams is the next Patrick Mahomes, otherwise, you're really just in the same boat with Fields or without him. SO it really isn't a losing scenario to just trade him and pick Caleb.
How come Key talks non stop about Parcells or Gruden but rarely mentions Dungy
They doing Justin Fields a favor by trading him out of Chicago, They ain't going nowhere with Williams as the main starting QB …. Haha
Trade both Fields and CW and get multiple picks for several years and keep building on the Offense and set it up for a future QB. Lots of good QBs next years draft and beyond 🤔
Keyshawn is Delusional. He clearly doesn’t watch Fields play.
Justin Fields sells tickets. If they trade him they'll lose half their fan base.
You don't know what's been said between Piles and Fields.
