After a roller coaster three years with the Chicago Bears, Justin Fields' tenure in the Windy City is over.

The 11th pick of the 2021 NFL Draft was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers Saturday. 

Chicago owns the No. 1 pick and appears likely to select Caleb Williams or another quarterback

It remains unknown what Fields' status will be in Pittsburgh. Reports say he will back up newly acquired Russell Wilson, but fans on social media have a hard time believing that.

Either way, it's a new chapter for the 25-year-old, and he posted a farewell on X, formerly Twitter.

"Can’t say thank you enough to the city of Chicago for taking me in and embracing me. Thank you to the entire Bears organization and ownership for allowing me the opportunity to be part of such a historic franchise," he wrote. 

"But most of all thank you to my all my brothers that I played with. You all were the reason I attacked each day the way I did. I can’t thank you all enough for what y’all have meant to me over the last 3 years through the ups and downs. I wish each one of you nothing but success. Ready for this next chapter!"
