Would It Be Ok Having Justin Fields Play Against Atlanta Falcons Who Have Serious Interest In Him.
Bringing Fields, the Georgia native and lifelong Falcons fan, to Atlanta would be a fitting backtrack to reverse a mistake many felt the team made back in 2021 when they had the no. 4 overall pick in the draft and opted to pass over the Ohio State standout.
Instead, the Falcons drafted Florida tight end Kyle Pitts, who had a fine rookie year, recording the second-most receiving yards among rookie tight ends in NFL history and nabbing a Pro Bowl spot.
Pitts, however, has never quite been able to replicate that magic he flashed in his first season.
Meanwhile, the Falcons have been floundering at quarterback, with young prospect Desmond Ridder being benched multiple times and the backup options behind him not doing too well, either.
Frankly put, the Falcons are simply too good, overall, to be weighed down by a hole in the most crucial quarterback position.
And with their 2024 draft pick coming somewhere after no. 10, selecting a quarterback impact player is somewhat of an impossibility.
So, trading for Fields would appear to be the logical move for a “ready right now” QB on a “ready to win right now” team.
Other teams, though, have emerged as potential suitors for the 24-year-old Fields. Notably, the Las Vegas Raiders, New York Jets, Washington Commanders, Pittsburgh Steelers, New Orleans Saints, and Minnesota Vikings have all been mentioned as potential interested parties.
With all these qualities that the Atlanta falcons love in our dear Justin Fields I would suggest he would watch from the sidelines.
