Justin Fields' manager shares video of Bears quarterback celebrating amid rumors he could be traded to hometown Falcons

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields appeared to be happily celebrating in a video shared by his manager on social media - amid talk of a potential trade to hometown team the Atlanta Falcons.

Fields, whose Bears future is in major doubt this offseason, had a huge smile across face while jumping around, screaming and clapping in the video posted by manager Mario Nunez.

Although there is no word on exactly what the 24-year-old was so excited about, a voice in the background appears to say: 'You ready to go home?'

Fields has been at the center of trade rumors while the Bears and many around the NFL debate whether Chicago should trade him and draft USC QB Caleb Williams, or trade the pick and continue to build around the former Ohio State Buckeye.

Amid the uncertainty surrounding his future, Fields recently unfollowed the Bears and the NFL on Instagram and claimed that he didn't want to see anything football related on his timeline.

Fields' hometown tea Atlanta Falcons have been the strongest linked team to acquiring him

Last season he went 2,562 yards for 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 13 games

Multiple teams have been linked with trading for the 2021 No. 11 overall pick,  including the Las Vegas Raiders, Seattle Seahawks, Pittsburgh Steelers, and most notably his hometown Falcons.

Not only has Atlanta been reported to show the strongest interest in acquiring Fields, but the comment heard in the video about being ready to 'go home' will only drive speculation that he will be under center in Atlanta next year.

Several oddsmakers have made Atlanta betting favorites to acquire Fields, with some going as far as to close bets on the topic - potentially signaling that the Bears have already made a decision.

Last season Fields amassed a 5-8 record while missing four games due to injury and had 2,562 yards, 16 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. 

He also ran for 657 yards and four touchdowns on 124 rushing attempts. Back in 2022 when he started 15 games Fields ran for 1,143 yards and eight touchdowns.

During a recent podcast appearance Fields addressed the possibility of playing for his hometown team.

'Atlanta would be tough,' Fields said. 'The only con of going back home is just people hit my phone [up] crazy wanting tickets to the game.

'But I think they've got a lot of playmakers on the team, of course Bijan [Robinson], they've got my boy Kyle [Pitts] and then, of course, Drake [London], too. They probably need one more receiver, but they've definitely got some guys over there and their defense was good this year, too.' 

NFL Draft expert Merril Hoge recently said the Bears would be smart to keep Fields and gave a harsh assessment on Williams.

Bears No. 1 WR D.J. Moore also advocated for the team to keep Fields rather than replacing him with a rookie QB.
