What will the Chicago Bears do with the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft?
That is currently the biggest offseason storyline.
According to reports, the Bears are making every effort to “do right” by Fields if they draft another quarterback with the first pick.
Enter Atlanta.
The Falcons were heavily linked to Fields before the Bears drafted him in 2021. Fields is a native of Georgia and grew up near Atlanta in Kennesaw.
Last week, Fields’ odds to become a Falcon next season became as short as -425. But now that the combine is over and news regarding Atlanta prioritizing Kirk Cousins has surfaced, those odds for Fields have lengthened to +110.
Let’s dive into the next team odds for Fields at DraftKings Sportsbook.

Initially, it was Justin Fields’ social media activity that ignited rumors of a possible split with the Bears.
The quarterback recently unfollowed the team on Instagram, leading to even more speculation that his days in Chicago are numbered. It was also noted that Fields follows a few standout players on the Falcons, such as Kyle Pitts, Bijan Robinson and Drake London.
And then last Wednesday, DraftKings Sportsbook briefly removed Fields’ next team odds from its offerings, which added even more fuel to the fire.
Also last Wednesday, projected No. 1 NFL draft pick Caleb Williams reportedly told one media outlet: “If I get drafted by the Bears, I’ll be excited.”

Whether Fields ends up in Atlanta, Pittsburgh or elsewhere, the quarterback’s days in Chicago feel close to an end. The Bears own the top pick in April’s NFL Draft, and Williams, the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner, is the -1600 betting favorite to be the top pick.
FOX Sports NFL Insider David Helman said Chicago has “a hell of a choice in front of them.”
“It’s the biggest choice in the NFL this offseason when you talk about owning the No. 1 draft pick in a year with several quality quarterback prospects and also having a very up-and-down but very talented quarterback in Justin Fields,” Helman said.
“Do you build around him? Do you trade out of the No. 1 overall pick in the draft and try to get another haul?”
