Kinda a weird reaction from both of you.

I have a higher opinion of Fields as a player than you do but even if conceding that I’m wrong and you’re right, I’m not sure why you would be trashing him/bashing him on his way out. He was a great locker room guy and provided basically the only excitement on a 2022 Bears team that was terrible.

And it’s not like he cost them anything of significance either the past three years; it was an awful roster in 21 and 22, and a better one in 2023 but still nowhere near a SB contender. All of that is true even if you think he’s an “bum” with no possibility of improvement.

As for your BIL, they gave up essentially nothing. It’s an extremely low risk for a probable low-moderate return, possibly high return if he can get developed more/learn from Russ. Not sure why he’d be “pissed” about this.
