They could've had Justin Fields for cheap but chose Minshew.

I doubt Justin wanted to go there. No one in their right mind was putting Fields and Getsy back together. That marriage didn’t work.

Correct.  It didn't work.  It's pretty clear which party NFL execs thought was more to blame for that, too.

I do think LV was planning on taking a QB last night and got snaked.

FTR I was tremendously behind the curve on Marc Trestman. He had my support all the way up until his last day IIRC.

No, I don’t think “that’s clear.”

Of course you don’t.

Just ignore what actually happened in favor of some scenario that confirms your bias.

Just because one dysfunctional team with DeVante Adams decided to hire Getsy after getting stiffed by their first choice doesn’t make things “clear.”

And 30 teams decided not to get Justin Fields as their starter even though he was cheap.

There were a lot of reasons for that #excuses

And he wasn’t that cheap. He was about to become pretty expensive.

I heard after the fact multiple other teams were interested in Fields, but Poles mishandled that. There were probably some teams in there he didn’t want to go to, and Poles seemed to respect his wishes.

A 4th or 5th round pick and a $3m cap hit isn’t particularly expensive for your starting QB this year.

I like how there’s no way to know DJs actual feelings even though he made them pretty clear, but we can be certain the behinds the scenes discussions included no teams with interest in Justin Fields (outside of the Steelers).

I didn’t say that.

What we know is that no one traded for him, and that the Bears got a 6th rounder for him to be a likely backup.

In any case, he certainly wasn’t going to expensive for a guy you’d expect to be your starting QB no matter what offers they got.

Why would QB needy teams do that when the FA class is better than it typically is and it was a particularly strong draft for QBs. Why bring in a guy for as little as one year? If this had been 2-3 years ago you might have gotten a nice return for Fields. And again, it was reported after the fact that that other teams had interest but Poles chose to send Fields to the team and coach he wanted to play for.
