CHICAGO (AP) โ€” The Chicago Bears traded quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday night, a person informed of the deal told The Associated Press.

Chicago will receive a conditional 2025 pick, another person familiar with the details of the trade told the AP.

The move is a strong signal the Bears will draft a QB -- perhaps USCโ€™s Caleb Williams -- with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft.

The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the teams havenโ€™t announced the trade. NFL Network first reported the deal.

Fields figures to back up nine-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson, who signed a one-year deal with the Steelers on Friday. Pittsburgh also traded Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles.
