Justin Fields reportedly finalizes deal with Chicago Bears
Former Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields has now officially put pen to paper as a Chicago Bear. According to news first reported by Tom Pelissero of NFL.com with several other media outlets also reporting the news.
According to sources close to Pelissero and the situation, Fields’ contract comes with a hefty $11,085,056 signing bonus that’s a part of a four-year, $18,871,952 fully guaranteed contract. Those are some big numbers for a team desperate to find its face of the franchise at quarterback.
They are lofty expectations for a city over the moon with anticipation of what Fields could become for it, but the former Heisman finalist has done everything both on and off the field at this very early pace to make many a believer.
