Justin Fields, with Bears future uncertain, says 'I gave it my all' - ESPN

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields isn't sure what the future holds after 38 career starts in three seasons — specifically, whether he'll be back under center in 2024 for the franchise that enters the offseason with the No. 1 pick.

«That decision is not in my hands,» Fields said. «All I can control is what I did do. I gave it my all. Whether it's here or not, I have no regrets.»

In the event that Sunday's season-ending 17-9 loss to the Green Bay Packers was Fields' last game with the Bears, the quarterback proactively said his goodbyes to the team that drafted him 11th overall in 2021.

«To the city of Chicago, love y'all,» he said. «Appreciate the fans and the support from all the Bears, you know, and in case this is my last rodeo with y'all, appreciate y'all for everything.»

The Bears own the top pick in the draft for a second straight year and will decide in the coming months whether to stick with Fields or use the No. 1 pick on a rookie quarterback.

«We're working from a position of strength and just going to continue to keep an open mind and look at all options,» general manager Ryan Poles said on ESPN 1000 on Sunday afternoon. «I'm excited for that opportunity.»

The loss at Lambeau Field marked Chicago's 11th straight to its longest-standing rival. Fields has never beaten the Packers since he became the Bears' starting quarterback three years ago, and ended the season with 11 completions for 148 yards against a Green Bay team that used Chicago to punch its ticket to the playoffs.

Injuries played a role in the offense's struggles. The Bears were without starting center Lucas Patrick, who was placed on injured reserve over the weekend, and lost right guard Nate Davis in the first half. Fields
