NFL offseason "drama" is in the air.
Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields unfollowed his team on social media and Atlanta Falcons fans are going crazy, but there's a valid reason.
Fanduel sportsbook now has the Falcons favored to land Fields via trade at +150.
Additionally, fans have acknowledged that Fields, a Georgia native, has been following Atlanta's top weapons Kyle Pitts, Drake London, and Bijan Robinson.
While some fans may think social media has nothing to do with Fields' next move — it's unfortunately the world we live in today and many players have used their platforms to give hints as to what's happening between them and said team. So, the odds are pretty high that it does mean at least something.
In this case, Fields' social media pettiness is a real blessing if it truly means he is moving on from the Bears and the Falcons are cooking up a deal to grab him.
Every Falcons fan knows that Atlanta is in desperate need of a quarterback (again) this offseason.
Sure, they have the No. 8 overall pick in this year's draft, but it makes more sense to find a veteran quarterback who would be coming into an already solidified offense rather than gamble on a rookie quarterback.
And say the Falcons do acquire Fields in a trade, then they can use that eighth overall draft pick on another weapon for him.
Other teams projected to land Fields are the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, and his current team, the Bears.
But the Falcons make the most sense.
Bring him home, Terry!
