is it not possible to pick up Fields fifth year option to keep them around for another year, while you draft the top QB prospect? You could then trade whichever one doesn’t work out. sounds crazy but crazier things have been done. Any thoughts?

Because it torches the relationship with Fields while simultaneously hurting the relationship with the new qb because we aren't fully committing to him. Fields would almost certainly ask to get traded and the new qb would be pissed to.

That's more or less what the Packers did with drafting Love, how'd that work for them? Their HOF qb left instead of retiring on their team and they burned up Loves rookie contract so they can't even evaluate how good he is cheaply.

Bruh you’re playing in Chicago, just pray the line doesn’t get you killed by week 4

Omg, we’ve become the Browns…
