The Chicago Bears traded quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday afternoon, ending the quarterback’s tenure in Chicago and signaling the franchise’s direction in drafting a new starter next month.
In the wake of the trade, Fields issued a statement thanking the Bears for the opportunity over the past three seasons.
“Can’t say thank you enough to the city of Chicago for taking me in and embracing me,” Fields wrote on social media. “Thank you to the entire Bears organization and ownership for allowing me the opportunity to be part of such a historic franchise. But most of all thank you to my (sic) all my brothers that I played with. You all were the reason I attacked each day the way I did. I can’t thank you all enough for what y’all have meant to me over the last 3 years through the ups and downs. I wish each one of you nothing but success.
