The Chicago Bears traded quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday night, a person with knowledge of the transaction told The Associated Press.
Chicago will receive a conditional 2025 pick, another person with knowledge of the trade details told the AP.
The move is a strong signal that the Bears will select a quarterback – perhaps USC’s Caleb Williams – with the top pick in the upcoming draft.
The two teams have not yet announced the trade, but spoke on condition of anonymity. NFL Network was first to report the deal.
Fields will be the replacement for nine-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson, who signed a one-year contract with the Steelers on Friday. Pittsburgh also traded Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles.
