Telesco, who took over as general manager on January 23, is apparently keen to land a well-known player as quarterback.
After the 2023 season, Fields, who struggled with his passing improvement in his third season as the Bears’ starter, saw Getsy fired. However, during his recent introduction press conference, Getsy professed love for Fields, raising the possibility that he wants to work with the 24-year-old quarterback going forward.
Outstanding development for Justin Getsy said at the press conference, emphasizing Fields’ virtues and hard work ethic.
Given the paucity of experience on the Raiders’ current quarterback roster, Fields stands out as a potential candidate due to his accolades and substantial experience.
The Raiders’ starting quarterback at the end of the previous campaign, Aidan O’Connell, lacks Fields’ accomplishments and experience.
It is expected that a sizable draft asset will be needed to complete the trade if the Raiders plan to acquire Fields. The majority of trade forecasts imply that talks would begin with a second-round selection. The Raiders, who have the 44th overall pick, appear to be in a good position to negotiate for Fields.
It is anticipated that there will be intense competition for Fields’ services. The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Atlanta Falcons, who could both be interested in a young quarterback with promise, have second-round picks that might be comparable to what the Chicago Bears have to offer.
