In the most recent Hoge and Jahns podcast episode, the guys welcomed Randy Mueller, a former long-time NFL General Manager who earned the NFL Executive of the Year award in 2000. While the overall conversation was engaging, there was a notable moment when Randy discussed a potential timeframe for the Chicago Bears to consider moving and trading Justin Fields.

“This might be one where they maximize value by waiting to mid-April, a couple days before the draft, as a pushback window.”

If Randy’s prediction is accurate, it adds an intriguing element to the off-season. Last year, Bears GM Ryan Poles traded the top pick to the Carolina Panthers on March 11th, an entire month until the draft. Poles will be evaluating Justin Fields throughout the 3 remaining games and might strategically delay any draft day decisions.

As Randy suggested, such a move could optimize the trade value for Fields, given the demand for quarterbacks like him in the market. With numerous coaching positions opening up after the season, Fields could potentially find favorable landing spots based on a franchise’s needs and coaching scheme. The Atlanta Falcons will emerge as a preferred destination, as commonly speculated. If Randy’s timeline holds true, the quarterback discussion will dominate daily conversations not only in Chicago but also nationwide, making for an eventful and lengthy off-season leading up to the draft.
