Division Talk: Falcons are heavy favorites to land Justin Fields

Thoughts?

Article:

The Bears seem to be preparing to trade quarterback Justin Fields. The Falcons might be preparing to trade for him.

The Falcons are the overwhelming favorites to land Fields in the odds set by DraftKings Sportsbook.

Atlanta is at -225, with the Bears next at +240. The Steelers come in at +340, and the Raiders are at +800.

The Patriots have +1500 odds, with the Broncos at +2000.

At one point, DraftKings removed the odds. They have since returned.

The Bears need to move quickly, if they’re going to trade Fields. With other quarterbacks available, seats will be filled quickly as free agency approaches. The longer the Bears wait, the greater the chance there won’t be a taker.

That could force the Bears to keep Fields until after the first round of the draft concludes, hopeful that a team targeting a quarterback in round one doesn’t get the player it wants. If that doesn’t happen, the Bears could be stuck.

Teams can agree to the terms of a trade currently. No deal can become official until March 13 at 4:00 p.m. ET.

Falcons will win the division if they get any kind of upgrade at QB Fields/Wilson/Cousins would all make them the favorites. QB play has been their only weakness.

Could be a problem on a team with as many weapons as ATL

I aint scared. Evero's defensive scheme is good enough to match up well against the offenses in our division. the issue is our offense.

I like Fields so I'd prefer him stay out of the division. I like Mayfield too so it already sucks having him in the division.

Yea im beyond sick of watching gambling ads non-stop. I know with even a DVR, if you see a gambling ad, its either the first commercial or game is back. Its a super turn-off, but I know the beast thats its become. 

But like my old friend that was a Correctional Officer told me about gambling- " You can not stop inmates form doing it, they will bet on which water droplet fails first or which fly leaves first ". I feel that way about drugs too....

Im just fatigue about it among many things force on us especially if its hypocritical or BS.

Falcons are a half decent QB away from being a very good team.

That shouldn’t affect any past or future mistakes made here, where you’re still 10 years away from being 20 years away from competing

I think if atl gets a decent or baker like QB, they will win the division with ease. They have about everything(edge is missing) you want/need, just missing that important QB. Plus he doesnt need to be great, just not bad. 

Just if I was a QB or the agent of one, alllll those weapons at RB, WR, and TE. OL is decent and the whole offense unit has under-performed. They could be down right scarey with a real QB. Is that fields? Thats a tough call, never was a fan, but he has improved. If he kept getting better, it would be a 10 year nightmare for the NFC south.

I think Fields in Atlanta could be a problem. They are a 10, 11 win team with a decent QB. I don't think Fields has even 'peaked' yet. Could be a fun redemption story for both parties.

It would definitely be a good landing spot for Fields. I'd like to find out if he's legit and being held back by the Bears or if that's just who he is - extremely talented but wildly inconsistent.

Watch em get him for a 6th round pick in 2034.
