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.

Betting lines everywhere on everything these days... jeebus. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
