On Saturday, the Pittsburgh Steelers pulled on a blockbuster trade with the Chicago Bears to land quarterback Justin Fields. This prompted Fields to take to X (formerly Twitter) for the first time since December 7, 2023 to thank the city of Chicago and the Bears organization.
Can’t say thank you enough to the city of Chicago for taking me in and embracing me. 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 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. Ready for this next chapter!

The Bears selected Fields with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft out of Ohio State. Fields had his moments during his three seasons and flashed franchise potential but now gets a fresh start on a very talented Steelers team.
