He continued, “It will not be based on fear of what could happen with this, and what could happen with that \u2013 we\u2019re going to out our information together and make the best decision, because at the end of the day, we\u2019ll always throw our decision making against our core deal which is win championships and sustain success for a long period of time.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

JUSTIN FIELDS GIVES INTERESTING ANSWER TO WHY HE UNFOLLOWED BEARS ON INSTAGRAM<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n“It just depends on what opportunities pop up,” he began. “If we go down that road, I want to do right by Justin as well. No one wants to live in gray. I know that\u2019s uncomfortable. I wouldn\u2019t want to be in that situation either, so we\u2019ll gather information, we\u2019ll move as quickly as possible \u2013 we\u2019re not going to be in a rush, and see what presents itself and what\u2019s best for the organization.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Bears have missed the playoffs in each of Fields’ first three seasons and have had no postseason wins since the 2010 season. They have several routes they could go, including trading the No. 1 pick or using it to take USC standout Caleb Williams.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But if it was up to me, I would want to stay in Chicago. I love the city. The city\u2019s lit. The fans there are great, and the people. It\u2019s a business. I ain\u2019t got no control over it; whatever happens, happens. I think the biggest thing with all this going on right now, I just want it to be over. Like, just let me know if I\u2019m getting traded, let me know if I\u2019m staying, this and that.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
