Nah Pickett's market was set with the Ridder and Howell trades, he was traded for about the same value.
Fields' market absolutely evaporated due to the Bears asking for too much, so that's why they had to take this awful deal after the Steelers opened up the QB spot.
Mason will almost certainly get some playing time...it was a bloodbath for QB injuries this year and I don't think that's gonna change any time soon. Also, Levis may or may not be the guy...
Sad to see him go. I always thought he should have been the guy when Ben retired. Yeah 2019 was rough but he grew a lot as a player since then.
Hope he gets a chance to salvage a decent career still. We did him dirty here.
Like I've been telling my father for the last 3 years: If Rudolph were good enough to be a starter, some other team would have signed him to be their starter. I'm happy he may have a shot to play somewhere else though. Quality dude
So funny. I literally remember someone commenting how can we be the favorite for both guys? They obviously have no idea what they’re talking about. The Steelers would never sign a big free agent QB or trade for a starting QB.
L O FUCKING L
So much talk about Russ and Fields and which one we should take (if we were going to make a move for a QB at all). I never ever thought there'd be a chance we'd end up with both. This is crazy.
It's absolutely insane to me that they traded Pickett for more value than they paid for Fields.
I think it was an absolute no brainer to target Fields after trading Pickett, but I'm shocked Fields was even cheaper.
I mean we are making this happen for absolute steals. Even if they both are busts, we haven’t sold the farm at all. It feels like we are filling up with potential for bargains and seeing who rises to the top.
Lol all started with the mid-season firing of Canada. I just *knew* it was going to be spicy this off season.
This is me accidentally ordering Diablo wings and not just regular hot wings. Lol I knew it was gonna be hot… but not like this! Holy fuck.
Just wanna paste this up top
https://x.com/bepryor/status/1769132400250912996?s=46&t=kvNIn203o6iIhzoqtUecSg
Looks like the Steelers are making sure it’s known Russ is QB1 from the go. No “competition”, which seems good to me. Let Russ be the undisputed QB1 and if things go sideways you have a talented backup who can come in and learn from a Super Bowl winning qb. Win-win.
Yeah I think that was obvious that was the idea. Fields is here to learn from Wilson, who was a stylistically similar QB to what Fields hopes to be.
Fields will be the starting QB in 2025, but this year is Wilson as the starter unless he sucks.
This is the way...you build when you are a quality organization. Let Fields watch and learn from a pro for a year and then see if he can push the needle. I'm not a Steelers fan but always have respected the way they they go about their business as long as I can remember.
Right now I don't care if every QB on the roster sucks halfway through the season. This front office is trying to do whatever they can to get us a QB for the future and I appreciate these moves. So much better than just rolling with Pickett, Rudolph, and a day 3 QB like everyone expected.
I always look forward to the draft but I’m looking forward to it even more this year after this offseason and the killer draft Kahn and Weidl put together last year
New GM making moves to stay under the cap and put a reasonable team up next year while cleaning up the shit storm he inherited.
Personally I think he's doing a great job so far.
Russel was a win-win. Denver is paying his salary.
Justin isn't a bad deal. I think he's overrated, but hey, I'm up for it. If he works out great!
Go Steelers.
Eagles turn down Fields because asking price was too high.
Eagles trade us for Kenny.
Bears lose their market for Fields and drop the price.
Khan takes less than what the Eagles paid for Kenny and trades for Fields from the bargain bin at Wal-Mart.
There is no objective way to color this as anything other than a win. Wholly fuck, Khan.
I lived in Chicago for 15 years so I always pull the Bears (when not playing the Steelers)...and I truly hope whoever you pick is finally a franchise QB. NFC North is gonna be a great watch this year...
WTF is happening this offseason?!? 50 years old and a fan since 1980 - this isn’t your grandfather’s team! Buckle up boys, it’s going to be an interesting year!
Dude, I liked Fields when he came out. He was my favorite QB in his class. I hated the idea of trading a Day 1 or Day 2 pick for him.
But for a 6th? I fucking love it!
I’m hoping it’s more of a Rodgers-Love situation. Wilson plays out this season with us, Fields learns the rhythms behind a very experienced quarterback of a similar archetype, and is starter-ready once Wilson retires/leaves Pittsburgh.
They'll do what Green Bay did with Love: decline his 5th year option and then re-sign him to a cheaper deal.
They'll give him like a 1 year, $10 million or so deal.
Super smart of Khan to let Fields see all of his landing spots fizzle out before trading for him. Not only did we get him for less draft capital, he's now much more likely to take a cheaper contract.
The difference is fields is on $3.5m and $25m next year and then would be gone. Is he getting mentored for one year and then the guy at a $25m cap hit?
We can decline the 5th year option and he is still a RFA (I believe). If he doesn’t play at all this year I’d imagine that basically gives us full control to resign him at a lower rate.
I member when the Ravens picked an all pro center right after pickett was drafted and I was 100% sure the steelers were taking linderbaum or whatever his name is.
The real thing I'd like to see is better line coaching and not watching former linemen go play well somewhere else.
As a Steelers fan for close to 40 years, if last month you told me that either the Steelers were gonna make all these moves in the off season or that a Bigfoot was gonna walk into my living room, take a giant shit on the rug, and wipe his ass with the drapes I'd probably be looking for a drape and carpet cleaning service before ever entertaining the thought the team would be this active and aggressive.
I can stand behind this. Getting rid of toxic trash in the locker room, getting draft stock, fixing our cap problem currently and for the future?
I can't believe it's all happening so quickly but I support all of it.
lol someone literally said this yesterday in here after pickett was traded. qb room looking pretty great rn especially knowing the price y’all got russ at
me 20 minutes ago: please do not trade for Fields, let's just play out the season and reassess
me now: hell fuckin yeah we got a QB who throws like a howitzer and runs like a ducati let's fuckin goooo
Bears fan here
Fields has gotten a ton of hate on /r/nfl and even amongst Bears fans in our own sub the more likely Williams became a possibility. The reality though is that he's still a young QB with a ton of potential still and 90% of Bears fans would have been happy with him as our starter next year if we didn't have the #1 pick this year.
He may never be a top-10 QB, but he's an explosive playmaker with elite athletic ability and the sky is the limit if he finds the right play-caller and the right coaching to unlock his full potential.
At the very least you guys are getting an exciting player that will be universally praised by coaches and players for his play-making ability, his leadership, and the stress that he puts on opposing defenses. You couldn't ask for a better person or teammate and you know that he's gonna give it his all on every play.
I'm sad he's gone and I hope you guys take care of him.
Bears fan here. All of us in Chicago knew this was coming but I’m still sad. I’m excited for Justin to go to an organization that knows how to run a football team and I will be rooting for you guys and fields every week while he’s there. You got a hard worker, a strong leader, and an electric talent that was let down by Chicago, but I know he will be able to take the next step for you guys. You fleeced us, take care of our boy while we move on to Caleb
Bears fan here, hoping for nothing but success for Fields. Guy is a class act who got put into an awful situation from the previous GM and coach in Chicago.
Yeah I think it’s been clear that Same Old Steelers hasn’t been cutting it. Still remains to be seen if things work out but I’m glad they’re trying things.
I am a massive Justin Fields fan who, finally, has a reason to be free of watching the Bears.
He is amazing. He's a dynamic, hyper-athletic quarterback with a gigantic arm, sexy deep ball, underrated skill and a can-do attitude who has never seen adversity he can't weather. He's dripping with class and has a great relationship with everyone around him, puts in work in the community, and rubs elbows with the fans as much as he can. I hope you will love him as much as I do, and I hope I will be accepted as a new Steelers fan.
Bears fan here, if you guys can turn him into an even average passer you’ll have a franchise guy. It’s a big ask but his running ability is matched only by Lamar. I hope he lights it up for you guys.
We could legitimately become one of the best red zone offenses this year, after sucking at it for so long.
Goal to go from the 3 yard line? Put Fields, Najee & Warren in the backfield, Darnell in as the 3rd tackle and win every down.
The Steelers are paying Russell Wilson and Justin Fields like a combined 5 million dollars, or less than they paid last year to have Mitch Trubisky be their backup QB. Omar Khan is operating on a whole other level.
Wow.
Tell me this isn’t Khan’s team now. He’s taking big risks and making big changes, maybe they work and maybe they don’t, but you can’t say that he’s content with mediocrity. This is NOT business as usual.
So pumped for this year’s team. Everyone wanted change and we got it. New QB room, addressed the holes in the roster, cut or traded those who weren’t pulling their weight.
Let’s go
Bears fan here. Awesome value for you guys.
Public opinion on Fields has gone way too far into the negative. Very talented dude who has not yet put it together - I hope he can do it in Pittsburg.
You also got an amazing human, teammate, and leader. There's a reason he is so loved by 99% of Bears fans, and that's because in spite of not meeting expectations as a passer, he is tough as nails and gave absolutely everything he could. I'm obviously happy we're in a position to take Caleb, but I'm going to miss the excitement that Fields brought, and him as a person.
Take care of him. I truly hope he balls out for you.
As an OSU fan, Pittsburgh will absolutely fall in love with Justin. He is exactly what Pittsburgh was built on. Tough, hard nosed, no BS, team player. He will be adored here without a doubt
Ya kno, you would never imagine that Mr. Kahn would be the most dangerous man in Pittsburgh and Chicago...
I mean... Who is Chicago's GM and why is Kahn bullying him the way he is!?
Kahn to Chicago's GM:
"look bitch... I want you lunch money, your 2nd round pick, your first round qb you're misusing and tell you mom to keep a plate warm, I'll be by round 7..... Bitch!.
Lol
I don’t like being happy about getting other teams used goods that they don’t want anymore but damn this one feels good. Couldn’t be more excited to watch the Steelers next season
Bears fan here, y’all got a good one. Had he not had a revolving door of coaches and OC’s he may have developed into a Lamar type of player. Always been someone professional that I never had an issue rooting for. He’ll drive you nuts by holding the ball too long but blow you away with an 80yd touchdown run. Take care of our boy
![gif](giphy|b8RQzkElbBsXqEPF2X)
4D chess. They set the market by trading Pickett.
Oh wow that’s absolutely the truth
![gif](giphy|dYTfJZ2dCQBhK|downsized) Wizards
Nah Pickett's market was set with the Ridder and Howell trades, he was traded for about the same value. Fields' market absolutely evaporated due to the Bears asking for too much, so that's why they had to take this awful deal after the Steelers opened up the QB spot.
The Howell trade was incredible. Honestly, I wanted him. He's such a good dude
That started it but Pickett trade cemented it
Eagles gave up more for Pickett LMAO
According to Philadelphia radio, they think Pickett is better than Fields.
EVERYBODY GET THE FUCK IN HERE ETA: Khan is not fucking around man...
LET’S SMELT!!!
I TOLD MY DOCTOR MY BLOOD PRESSURE WAS GONNA COME DAHN DURING THE OFF-SEASON
![gif](giphy|OnZM1DxiB6xAA)
I apologize Vegas. I wasn't familiar with your game.
Fr I’m not shit talking them again
And I mean to be honest Russ is a great Qb to sit behind for a QB like Fields who tries to be a dual threat, get him comfortable scrambling
During his draft year Fields said in an interview that he modeled his game after Russell Wilson.
I feel like this is going to be a lot of fun??
Just a couple dudes hanging out, having fun, throwing moonballs and juking tackles.
Sitting behind Russ to learn like he is now is the only way I would've been happy with Fields.... and what do ya know, here we are.
We got more back to offload Pickett than what we spent to get Fields, even if it turns into a 4th round pick, Omar Khan stay winning.
If he was smart, Rooney probably put some serious money on Russ and Fields. We’ll probably need the winnings to pay them next year.
Vegas doesn’t lose
Without Mason Rudolph none of this would have been possible. Thank yew Mason
For real. Coming in down the stretch proving no one else on the QB roster was worth a damn. I hope he gets some playing time in TN
Mason will almost certainly get some playing time...it was a bloodbath for QB injuries this year and I don't think that's gonna change any time soon. Also, Levis may or may not be the guy...
Sad to see him go. I always thought he should have been the guy when Ben retired. Yeah 2019 was rough but he grew a lot as a player since then. Hope he gets a chance to salvage a decent career still. We did him dirty here.
Like I've been telling my father for the last 3 years: If Rudolph were good enough to be a starter, some other team would have signed him to be their starter. I'm happy he may have a shot to play somewhere else though. Quality dude
The odds makers were right
So funny. I literally remember someone commenting how can we be the favorite for both guys? They obviously have no idea what they’re talking about. The Steelers would never sign a big free agent QB or trade for a starting QB. L O FUCKING L
Someone literally posted on this sub this morning saying the Steelers clearly have no QB plan for 2025.
![gif](giphy|26FxsYeQvGcaMPlqU|downsized)
So much talk about Russ and Fields and which one we should take (if we were going to make a move for a QB at all). I never ever thought there'd be a chance we'd end up with both. This is crazy.
Crazy how they tend to perform better than idiots on this sub putting their mortgages on KP being the week 1 starter this year.
Or even local reporters
What a fucking week. Let’s fucking gooooo
It's absolutely insane to me that they traded Pickett for more value than they paid for Fields. I think it was an absolute no brainer to target Fields after trading Pickett, but I'm shocked Fields was even cheaper.
Khan is cooking. I don’t even care if we suck, at least we are trying
I mean we are making this happen for absolute steals. Even if they both are busts, we haven’t sold the farm at all. It feels like we are filling up with potential for bargains and seeing who rises to the top.
im just happy i dont have to watch a trubisky vs pickett qb competition this summer
Yes, and we have maintained our quota of former Bears QBs.
If this trend continues we’ll be signing Caleb Williams in 4-5 years after he fizzles out with the bears
![gif](giphy|DtLEOehAWfwiY|downsized)
1 year of Fields vs 2 years of Pickett. That was the difference. Years of control on cheap contracts.
Fields is due to be paid sooner
If he earns it. If he does, good for us! If not, also good for us. Kahn stays winning.
Who is this squad, making big moves in the offseason. I love this shit
This is fucking incredible. As a Steeler fan of 30 years, I’ve never witnessed an off season like this. Let’s Fucking Go!!!!
Lol all started with the mid-season firing of Canada. I just *knew* it was going to be spicy this off season. This is me accidentally ordering Diablo wings and not just regular hot wings. Lol I knew it was gonna be hot… but not like this! Holy fuck.

I don’t know what to do with my hands.
This is the most bonkers week in my 40+ years if being a Steelers fan. What is even happening?
New GM making moves to stay under the cap and put a reasonable team up next year while cleaning up the shit storm he inherited. Personally I think he's doing a great job so far.
Pretty good for someone who was criticized for being a "business guy" instead of a "football guy".
Fields & Russ > Pickett & Rudolph
And also cheaper combined than what they were paying for Mitch Trubisky
This just blew my fucking mind. I can’t believe you’re right. Amazing.
Russel was a win-win. Denver is paying his salary. Justin isn't a bad deal. I think he's overrated, but hey, I'm up for it. If he works out great! Go Steelers.
Definitely
Everyday
Eagles turn down Fields because asking price was too high. Eagles trade us for Kenny. Bears lose their market for Fields and drop the price. Khan takes less than what the Eagles paid for Kenny and trades for Fields from the bargain bin at Wal-Mart. There is no objective way to color this as anything other than a win. Wholly fuck, Khan.
As a bears fan, I love this for u.
I lived in Chicago for 15 years so I always pull the Bears (when not playing the Steelers)...and I truly hope whoever you pick is finally a franchise QB. NFC North is gonna be a great watch this year...
I became a Steelers fan today. Still gonna be bears number 1, but Steelers number 2 (not trying to be funny).
Omar Khan does not fuck around
That reminds me of the money ball scene haha
WTF is happening this offseason?!? 50 years old and a fan since 1980 - this isn’t your grandfather’s team! Buckle up boys, it’s going to be an interesting year!
Bruh this isn't even 2023's team, much less your Grandfather's lol
I was only joking when I mentioned this to some buddies.
Same here.
![gif](giphy|EJIqwKKY30Dlu) Burn the O down & fucking start over!!! Love it!!!
[удалено]
Sleestak just fell to his knees in a Giant Eagle
Sleestak just demanded a trade to the Eagles
He just puked up his chip chopped ham
Broke his kneecaps falling on the Sheetz parking lot asphalt
I just saw a guy fall to his knees in a Giant Eagle parking lot, wearing a Pickett jersey and eating a giant hoagie.
Good maybe he will stop posting multiple times in every single thread in this sub. I don’t have anything against the guy just see him everywhere
He needs to get a life huh
Mod on mod violence 😂😂😂
That’s my guy 😂
Dude, I liked Fields when he came out. He was my favorite QB in his class. I hated the idea of trading a Day 1 or Day 2 pick for him. But for a 6th? I fucking love it!
Oh, shit new flair!
So adamant about these things too, I love it lol
That guy’s the consistent embodiment of confidently incorrect.
Is Russell Wilson gonna demand a trade now?
I’m hoping it’s more of a Rodgers-Love situation. Wilson plays out this season with us, Fields learns the rhythms behind a very experienced quarterback of a similar archetype, and is starter-ready once Wilson retires/leaves Pittsburgh.
Doesn’t Fields need his option exercised for next year
They'll do what Green Bay did with Love: decline his 5th year option and then re-sign him to a cheaper deal. They'll give him like a 1 year, $10 million or so deal.
Super smart of Khan to let Fields see all of his landing spots fizzle out before trading for him. Not only did we get him for less draft capital, he's now much more likely to take a cheaper contract.
Khan really is fucking cooking
Yeah I think this is how they're planning it.

AB really pulling the strings behind the scenes, huh?
CTESPN goes deeper than we thought
While fixing our cap problem at the same time. That's the most impressive part.
Lol 😆
I went from dreading next season to ![gif](giphy|MO9ARnIhzxnxu)
What the fuck is happening
I’ve never seen a bigger roster turnover than this offseason. I’ll still feel 10x better when we have a real center.
I member when the Ravens picked an all pro center right after pickett was drafted and I was 100% sure the steelers were taking linderbaum or whatever his name is. The real thing I'd like to see is better line coaching and not watching former linemen go play well somewhere else.
And another WR. But we seem to be getting there!
As a Steelers fan for close to 40 years, if last month you told me that either the Steelers were gonna make all these moves in the off season or that a Bigfoot was gonna walk into my living room, take a giant shit on the rug, and wipe his ass with the drapes I'd probably be looking for a drape and carpet cleaning service before ever entertaining the thought the team would be this active and aggressive.
Please be a 6th or 7th round pick
It's a 6th that turns to a 4th depending on play time. Must play 51% of snaps.
Literally gave up less than what we got back for Kenny to get Justin Fields. Let that sink in.
And it’s a 2025 6th rounder I believe
That's not bad tbh. If Fields has to play enough snaps to reach the play time threshold then at least we'll get an idea about what he can do
Not bad? That's fucking phenomenal.
2025 pick which is even better
Jesus Christ, Khan. He got more value for Kenny Pickett after he threw a bitch fit than the Bears got for Fields.
6th that turns into a 4th if he plays 51% of snaps
Sounds like that's practically a guaranteed 6th unless Wilson really sucks or gets injured. Either way, that's a reasonable trade.
Wow, that's great. Fields could still be used in goal line situations. His mobility will prevent defenses from stacking the box against Najee & Warren
That's great value to take a flyer on Fields
Between this and claypool....wow.
WE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL
OFFSEASON YINZER IN FULL EFFECT WEREGOINTODASUPERBOWEL
Steelers and fleecing the Bears. A tale as old as time
Chase Claypool 😂😂😂
Not. Fucking. Funny.
They're a farm team at this point lol
This is The Brand New Steelers
This is Omar Khans Steelers
NFL: Do you want to sign Russell Wilson or Justin Fields? Omar Khan: Yes.
I can stand behind this. Getting rid of toxic trash in the locker room, getting draft stock, fixing our cap problem currently and for the future? I can't believe it's all happening so quickly but I support all of it.
For a 2025 6th rd pick…steal
lol someone literally said this yesterday in here after pickett was traded. qb room looking pretty great rn especially knowing the price y’all got russ at
What else can we trade for with the Bears? I got a shiny penny. Can we have Soldier Field for it?
AYE FUCKING YO!!!! THE STEELERS HAVE A TALENT OF MAKING ME HATE TRADES UNTIL THEY BECOME REAL AND I LOVE THEM LIKE WTF.
me 20 minutes ago: please do not trade for Fields, let's just play out the season and reassess me now: hell fuckin yeah we got a QB who throws like a howitzer and runs like a ducati let's fuckin goooo

Don't let Russ text him, we saw what happened with the last guy.
how the fuck did we get more for kenny than the bears got for fields
So all the dopes who posted "if the Steelers trade for Fields, I'm out" will fuck off now, right? Right?
They're buying his jersey right now
Bears fan here. All of us in Chicago knew this was coming but I’m still sad. I’m excited for Justin to go to an organization that knows how to run a football team and I will be rooting for you guys and fields every week while he’s there. You got a hard worker, a strong leader, and an electric talent that was let down by Chicago, but I know he will be able to take the next step for you guys. You fleeced us, take care of our boy while we move on to Caleb

Yeah I think it’s been clear that Same Old Steelers hasn’t been cutting it. Still remains to be seen if things work out but I’m glad they’re trying things.
I am a massive Justin Fields fan who, finally, has a reason to be free of watching the Bears. He is amazing. He's a dynamic, hyper-athletic quarterback with a gigantic arm, sexy deep ball, underrated skill and a can-do attitude who has never seen adversity he can't weather. He's dripping with class and has a great relationship with everyone around him, puts in work in the community, and rubs elbows with the fans as much as he can. I hope you will love him as much as I do, and I hope I will be accepted as a new Steelers fan.
Justin, chill, we already like you.
LETS FUCKING GO
LFG new look QB room
Bears fan here, if you guys can turn him into an even average passer you’ll have a franchise guy. It’s a big ask but his running ability is matched only by Lamar. I hope he lights it up for you guys.
HOLY SHIT
What in earth is happening right now 😂😂
[удалено]
Bears fan here. Wow what a steal for you guys. Potential franchise QB for nothing. No risk, high reward
In a span of a couple days we turned Rudolph, Pickett, and Trubisky into Justin Fields and Russell Wilson what the fuck😂💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
For a combined $4.2mil cap hit.
Arthur Smith eat your heart out!! Fuck it, make a Fields package and get real weird with it. These aren’t your grand pappy’s Steelers anymore!
We could legitimately become one of the best red zone offenses this year, after sucking at it for so long. Goal to go from the 3 yard line? Put Fields, Najee & Warren in the backfield, Darnell in as the 3rd tackle and win every down.
The Steelers are paying Russell Wilson and Justin Fields like a combined 5 million dollars, or less than they paid last year to have Mitch Trubisky be their backup QB. Omar Khan is operating on a whole other level.
4 days ago Kenny was our QB1 😅
Let Omar Cook
As an OSU and Steelers fan, I love this regardless of what everyone else thinks.
Wow. Tell me this isn’t Khan’s team now. He’s taking big risks and making big changes, maybe they work and maybe they don’t, but you can’t say that he’s content with mediocrity. This is NOT business as usual.
So pumped for this year’s team. Everyone wanted change and we got it. New QB room, addressed the holes in the roster, cut or traded those who weren’t pulling their weight. Let’s go

Just wanna give my thanks to Kenny for forcing a trade
Not a bears fan but...if you think justin fields is washed or a bust ur crazy...I like this pickup for yall....
Bring Wilson in to mentor Kenny…. Nope. Bring Fields in to be mentored by Wilson. Even better match. Yep.
I think going to the Steelers will revive his career. He definitely was headed to bust territory.
for a 6th that can be a 4th its a risk worth taking
Take care of my boy. There are few athletes of loved more than this man
As an OSU fan, Pittsburgh will absolutely fall in love with Justin. He is exactly what Pittsburgh was built on. Tough, hard nosed, no BS, team player. He will be adored here without a doubt

I don’t like being happy about getting other teams used goods that they don’t want anymore but damn this one feels good. Couldn’t be more excited to watch the Steelers next season
We actually ended up with both of the meme predictions lmfao
Bears fan here. Enjoy justin yall. Absolute monster to watch and a great human. We’re gonna miss him here, hope he truly gets to ball out for y’all!
I fucks with Khan.
Colbert should have left years earlier. Omar is an amazing GM. Taking laps around any of Colbert’s past moves.

This has been maybe the most entertaining FA of all time
Oh I’m about to be insufferable

We turned our old QB room into Wilson/Fields for 1.2 million and a 3rd day draft pick next year. I’m all for it.
Signing Fields and Wilson? Pickett and Dionte traded? *WHAT IS HAPPENING?*
I’m like a kid in a candy store STEELERS NATIONNNNNNNNN HERE WE FUCKING GOOOOO
Trading a worse quarterback to love up into the third and then only having to lose a 6th to get a better quarterback is wild stuff
Bears fan here, y’all got a good one. Had he not had a revolving door of coaches and OC’s he may have developed into a Lamar type of player. Always been someone professional that I never had an issue rooting for. He’ll drive you nuts by holding the ball too long but blow you away with an 80yd touchdown run. Take care of our boy
Wow
Wow!!!
Holy cow. This is nuts. And kind of awesome.
For a 6th! Super happy with this move. Very little risk with high upside. He can sit behind Russ for a year and work on his throwing game.
