I just read something about rookie QB deals that I hadn’t understood previously.
I knew there was the fifth year option for like $20-25m, but until just now I was under the impression that Fields could play next year and the Bears (or another team if he’s traded) would be able to choose during the offseason after next season whether to exercise the fifth year option, but that decision needs to be made THIS offseason, basically right after the next NFL draft.
Maybe I was the only one who didn’t get that
