Justin Fields might be complicating the Chicago Bears' future decisions that need to be made regarding the quarterback position. Can they stick with him?

Unlike most quarterbacks who get drafted No. 1 overall, a prospective Bears’ pick would walk into a scenario where the defense is good, some pieces are in place offensively and the team is loaded with resources to keep upgrading.

The former general manager, now the Falcons’ director of player personnel, infamously drafted Mitch Trubisky over Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson in 2017, but also drafted Justin Fields, Jaylon Johnson, Cole Kmet and other key starters on this year’s team.

If the Bears are inclined to keep Eberflus, he can help his bosses make that case publicly with two convincing wins to close the season.

The Denver Broncos benched quarterback Russell Wilson in a move that could have big offseason implications.

The Chicago Bears tried to trade for Russell Wilson in the 2021 offseason. Thankfully the Seattle Seahawks rejected the deal.

The Falcons have some pieces in place, but not at quarterback. And former Bears GM Ryan Pace, who drafted Fields, is one of their top executives.

The fact that they’re back in the same predicament tells you that chairman George McCaskey handled the last decision poorly. But what, if anything, did he learn from it?

Santos is the most accurate field-goal kicker in Bears history at 90.5% made.

Cairo Santos has converted 115 of 116 field-goal tries with the Bears. General Manager Ryan Poles rewarded him with a four-year contract extension.
