Chicago Bears players love Justin Fields and clearly want him to be the quarterback. But business is business in the NFL, and they’ll deal with it if the Bears take a new quarterback.

“We want Fields!”

We all heard the chants from the fans. We also heard the Chicago Bears players in the locker room after their victory over the Atlanta Falcons at Soldier Field on Sunday.

Everyone in a Bears jersey on Sunday — whether they were on the field or in the stands — loved what Justin Fields authored in what could be his last home game: a 300-total-yard effort with two touchdowns, some excellent throws from the pocket and yet another escape act seemingly only he can pull off.

It’s the kind of performance (against a good defense, mind you) and a scene that has people wondering if Fields has saved his job even in spite of the Bears locking in the No. 1 overall pick with Carolina’s blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

And if the Bears opted to trade him anyway for the right to draft Caleb Williams or Drake Maye, some posit the fallout in the locker room could be severe — even mutinous.

In fact, “there would be a mutiny there” is exactly what former Bear Kyle Long said on the Green Light podcast with his brother Chris when describing how current players would react to such a move after putting their support so publicly behind Fields.

“The team has decided that’s our guy,” Chris said. “…Six weeks ago, it was the safe decision, you could feel it, to trade Justin Fields. Now tell me what decision feels more unsafe if you’re Ryan Poles.”
