The Atlanta Falcons are in the market for a quarterback, which means NFL analysts are connecting the team to basically every QB available in the draft, free agency, or via trade. The most popular name that keeps coming up at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine is Bears quarterback Justin Fields.
Since Chicago is expected to draft USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the No. 1 overall pick, Fields is on the trade block and the Falcons are the betting favorites. A new report from Sportskeeda’s Tony Pauline suggested the Falcons and Bears are “finalizing” a deal for Fields:
Falcons fans have been through the wringer after non-stop QB rumors over the last month. Let’s see how they reacted to the latest Fields-to-Atlanta report on Twitter.
If the past few years have taught me anything, it's to wait until the deal is official to celebrate https://t.co/8oAue7vaoe

Dianna Russini said this morning that the market for Fields was soft and that Cousins was the name to watch for Atlanta. To me, this report is objectively false. https://t.co/QMwCKLsGgA

Lots of mixed reports. Some saying we are trading for Fields others saying we want Kirk. https://t.co/9N4Wupp691

Maybe the #Falcons learned at the combine that trading into the top-3 was too expensive, and demand for Fields is low.
This could be another low risk, high reward move Terry loves to make.
And still doesn’t prohibit the team from drafting their QB of the future at 8 or later. https://t.co/ttXoCsd31z

What you should take away from this:
– No one knows anything
– Just turn Adam Schefter’s notifications on and enjoy your day https://t.co/BeFkv6kIFw pic.twitter.com/Nfa6uFMsOG— 🪐𝑀🛸 (@chxnluh) March 2, 2024

If the #Falcons have heard enough to say “ It’s too expensive to make a move to get Maye and Daniels so let’s make a move that can only benefit us now and later..”
I could understand and be ok with Fields and BPA at 8th https://t.co/r3lfYHkf5L

I don’t like it. But I’m not one to constantly complain so if he does come here I’ll hope for the best. https://t.co/LFBHBLbz8g

Any place is better than Chicago for a talented athlete such as Fields. That said…. boy IDK how I'd feel going to the Falcons. There's at least a chance of playoffs, but you're still gonna see mngt tripping over themselves like they're dancing with two left feet https://t.co/LRUy5z5Q0b
