The NFL offseason is officially here, and it is off to a hot start. Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears have been a topic of discussion throughout the entirety of the 2023 NFL season.
The Bears hold the No. 1 overall pick, for the second consecutive year, in the 2024 NFL Draft. It is believed league-wide that that Chicago will use the draft pick to replace their quarterback with the 2022 Heisman Trophy Winner Caleb Williams.
Justin Fields might not be a fan of this, and his latest Instagram activity sends a message. The Bears quarterback unfollowed the franchise from his account. Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team posted this on X/Twitter and the fans were quick to jump to conclusions and speculate Fields' future.

One fan believes that this is the tipping point and Fields will not be returning to Chicago next season.
"He is for sure gone now. There is no coming back once a player unfollows a team on Instagram," the fan wrote.
Here are a few more reactions from NFL fans.
ESPN analyst makes case for Cleveland Browns making move to accquire Justin Fields
ESPN Sports Analytics writer Seth Walder makes case for the Cleveland Brown to pursue Justin Fields. Walder accepts that it's a wild one. But explains that Deshaun Watson is a sunk cost. He believes the Browns can upgrade their quarterback position with Fields, who's still on a rookie contract, in exachnge for a second- or third-round pick for Fields.
The Deshaun Watson controversy is not yet resolved. He was suspended for 11 games in 2022 and in his return last year, Watson failed to get going. New report suggests NFL could still punish Watson with more cases set to go to trial in the following months. It would be the last thing Browns would want heading into the 2024 season.
The Cleveland Browns looked solid with Joe Flacco under the center and made it to the playoffs last season. Kevin Stefanski, who won the Coach of the Year in 2023, could work his magic with a younger and more mobile quarterback in Justin Fields, just like he did with an aging Joe Flacco.
The Browns have the supporting cast to help Justin Fields. Their O-line is among top 10 in the league. With the likes of offensive weapons in Amari Cooper, whose coming off a 1000-yard season, David Njoku, Elijah Moore, Kareem Hunt, Nick Chubb and a rock-solid defense, Cleveland could be the place where Justin Fields resurrects his career.
Justin Fields' time as the Chicago Bears quarterback might be done. But he has shown glimpses and sparks of his talents and that will be an attractive factor for teams who'll look to strengthen their QB room this offseason.
