Gang, Justin Fields is not an NFL starting quarterback, and the Chicago Bears should already be doing homework on his long-term replacement.  I remember when Justin Fields was drafted, there seemed to be more hype surrounding Fields getting drafted and the Bears getting “their guy” more than the other top QBs taken in 2021.

Chicago Bears: 3 long-term replacements for Justin Fields

Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals

With a new GM and head coach in town, and with the Cardinals clearly doing a tear-it-all-down rebuild, keeping Murray makes no sense, especially if they have a clear path to draft Williams from USC.  They’d save tens of millions of dollars on their cap number by trading Murray, and the Chicago Bears have plenty enough draft capital to make the trade happen.
