Lions Head Coach Brutally Honest On Justin Fields Trade

-

The Chicago Bears made the decision to move on from Justin Fields just a few weeks ago. They will likely bring in a new signal caller by using the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft on a rookie quarterback. Most presume the Bears to select USC quarterback Caleb Williams. This move has left some fans disappointed, as they wanted to keep Fields and build the team around him, potentially by trading down from the top pick once more. However, when asked about the Bears decision to trade Fields, Detroit Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell offered a surprising response.

“I’m not gonna lie, it’s nice to have (Justin) Fields outta that division.

Justin Fields absolutely torched the Detroit Lions while playing in Chicago. So, it’s understandable why Dan Campbell responded the way he did. Justin had 1,293 total yards and 8 touchdowns in 5 games against the Lions.
