For now, Justin Fields is still a member of the Chicago Bears. But there’s a chance that the team decides to trade him this offseason and replace him with a rookie quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. If that happens, it sounds like one team is the favorite to land him: the Atlanta Falcons.
This week, the Atlanta Falcons became the clear betting favorite to land Justin Fields this offseason on the DraftKings Sportsbook with Atlanta listed with -130 odds to land the current Bears’ quarterback.
And it sounds like Fields would be interested in playing for the Falcons.

“The only con of going back home would be people hitting my phone crazy. Wanting tickets to the game,” Fields said on the St. Brown Bros Podcast according to NFL.com.
“But I think they got a lot of playmakers on the team. Of course, Bijan [Robinson]. They got my boy, Kyle [Pitts], and then, of course, Drake [London], too. They probably need one more receiver, but they’ve definitely got some guys over there. The defense was good this year, too.”
Obviously, this has led to a lot of reactions on social media.
As much as I want Justin to be part of the tremendous successes the Bears will experience this year- with either him or Caleb- I’m happy for him to go home and be surrounded by a bunch of offensive talent. He’ll also be in the NFL’s worst division instead of the best https://t.co/2hfMh2eOyI

Won’t happen. I’d like it to happen, but it won’t. Falcons never get the guy. https://t.co/qU2SoOlk3a

Good for Justin! Atlanta would be the best team he’s ever played on by far

We’ll have to see if Fields does end up in Atlanta.
