When Justin Fields was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the spring of 2021, it brought hope and optimism that the team had finally solved their dreadful quarterback woes after years of ineptitude. It also brought the potential for a very awkward situation with veteran Andy Dalton, who signed a one-year, $10 million deal to be the starter just a month and a half earlier. It turns out the two players not only navigated a rocky situation effectively, but became extremely close in the process.
Fields recently spoke with Barstool Sports’ Pardon My Take Podcast and discussed a variety of topics, including his and Dalton’s relationship through an uncertain time.
