Chicago Bears: 3 long-term replacements for Justin Fields

Caleb Williams, USC

Well, the Tank for Caleb sweepstakes are on, and shockingly, the Denver Broncos currently hold the #1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.  Yes, the Denver Broncos, who have never held the #1 pick in any draft in NFL history.  Well, I don’t think Denver stays in that slot, but the Chicago Bears might.  Between them and the Cardinals, I think one of those two teams end up with the top pick.

Someone else?

Who could the someone else be?  Perhaps if the Bears are looking at drafting a QB in 2024, Drake Maye or Michael Penix Jr come to mind.  Perhaps they’d consider trying to acquire a veteran QB already in the NFL.  Maybe they’d consider pursing 2024 free agent Kirk Cousins?  Could they even turn to their undrafted, rookie QB, Tyson Bagent?
