| 0:00.0 | Well guys the Steelers did something over the weekend that I thought they would never do they actually trade it for Justin Fields giving up a conditional six round pick becomes a fourth round pick if he meets certain plan time numbers. |
| 0:13.7 | But according to reports, that is where Justin Fields wanted to go. |
| 0:18.5 | They had four other suitors, not specified yet or who they were. |
| 0:22.4 | Some of them had higher compensation, but they decided to give Justin Fields what he wanted and go to the steel. |
| 0:29.0 | Well, then they're morons. |
| 0:30.0 | Second of all, I've read that Fields blocked the trades. |
| 0:33.4 | So I don't know what's true. |
| 0:34.6 | All I know is Ryan Poles has a job to operate the best interests of the Chicago Bears, |
| 0:39.3 | not in Justin Fields' ego. |
| 0:41.3 | Now, if you want to say he wanted to go to Pittsburgh my question is why |
| 0:44.7 | they signed Russell Wilson. I can tell you why because Russell is cheap for one |

| 1:06.2 | going to be the guy he steals a job from Russell and you just pay him a long-term |
| 1:10.5 | deal. If you're if you're Justin Fields I can beat our Russell Wilson. If you can't |
| 1:16.5 | beat him out then you know what I deserve to be a backup. The problems all league |
| 1:21.6 | seemed to tell him he was a backup. I don't know what happened here. |
| 1:24.0 | I was really surprised. I mean, even if it becomes a four day, but it means he took the starting job. |
| 1:29.0 | See, I don't think that the whole league thought that. I think the whole league realized Chicago's just going to be desperate and just unload him |
| 1:35.9 | so I'm not going to help the Chicago Bears out by giving you draft picks for somebody who you will |
| 1:41.4 | eventually bring out to the curb. |
