Idk why people thought the Raiders was an option. Why would the OC that lost his job because of Fields falling short of expectations voluntary put his job on the line again for thatDarnold signed but Fields isn't

I'm thinking the Bears asking price got to be high so teams are calling their bluff.Darnold signed but Fields isn't

I agree but weren't there rumors yesterday that the Raiders asked about Fields?
I'm not sure where he goes now. Maybe somewhere like the Saints as a backup?

Carson Wentz called them begging for a job and they gave him their ass to kiss, because apparently they were set with Zach Wilson and Tim Boyle.

But be being serious, Fields isn't as bad as people are making him seem. That said isn't as good as others say as well. Better than plenty of these other QB's that got signed yesterday that's for sure, but there are a lot of red flags. I'm just going to talk about why a team would be hesitant.
Dude can play high risk and reckless but also doesn't see easy throws and hesitates. It's like a case of somebody looking like they have "it" but doesn't have "it". I think he's an exciting to watch, but overall mid QB. Like a real throwback athletic QB.
Fields not having a good reputation when games are close makes it tough to warrant him as a legit QB. Clutch factor wins games, especially in the play-offs where every game is clutch and comes down to coaches setting up game winning drives. I think Fields has 1 win in three seasons when games are close.
Plus I mean 1 300 yard passing game in 3 seasons is crazy in the modern NFL. Plus has taken a lot of hits both inside and outside the pocket already. The damage is starting to pile up.
Bryce Young already has one in comparison and he probably had one of the absolute worst supporting casts I've ever seen. Yet despite all that, still engineered two game winning drives.
Again, not as bad as people may yell because dude has made some crazy plays. However, again, many drawbacks to the way he processes the game like this (ignore the music, can't ind the clip without it):
Additionally, everyone knows basically they're taking Caleb Williams (who I think has "it" for real) so if the Bears are talking crazy during negotiations that could also be a factor. I think that's a big part of it actually, with some of the signings yesterday, Darnold and Minshew those guys are getting paid peanuts compared to what Fields will most likely ask for. However, with Fields you know you may have to pay him big, but the questions are will he last that long and can he actually be a play-off-level QB? So if the Bears are out there talking 1st, 2nd rounder other GM's are most likely hanging up the phone.

Don’t fall for the overreacting posters
10m is practically bargain basement for a QB in this market
We’re drafting a QB this year. Kwesi got a plan.

Fields is tough to trade for. You almost HAVE to bring him in as a backup, because its tough to trust him as a starter. But on top of that hes in his 5th year, so you need to extend him as well.
So what do you actually do with him. How many teams can afford to trade for fields, extend him, have a system in place to develop him and have him sit behind someone to learn. There is almost no market for him.
The bears should have traded him last year and they could have potentially gotten a first for him.
