The Chicago Bears were the worst team last season in the NFL with a 3-14 record. As a consequence, they had the first-overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and many people wondered if Justin Fields could be replaced with a name such asBryce Young (Alabama),C.J. Stroud(Ohio State), Anthony Richardson (Florida) orWill Levis (Kentucky).

However, the Bears sent a message to the NFL that Justin Fields was their franchise quarterback by trading the first-overall pick to the Carolina Panthers in exchange oftwo first-round picks (2023, 2024), two second-round picks(2023, 2025) and star wide receiver, DJ Moore.

Now, in a shocking turn of events, the Chicago Bears decided to test the market and made a very interesting splash at quarterback to create competition for Justin Fields. Read here to check out the details.

Chicago Bears sign intriguing quarterback to compete with Justin Fields

The Chicago Bears have officially signed PJWalker. The 28-year old quarterback played the last three seasons forthe Carolina Panthers and, of course, he is very familiar with the new star of the team: wide receiverDJ Moore.

PJ Walker willbe the backup quarterback of Justin Fields, but, in case of an injury or bad performances, Walker has shown that he is more than capable to respond. Last season, PJ Walker became the starter at Carolina after Baker Mayfield got injured. He threw for 731 yards and three touchdowns in five games before an ankle injury in Week 10against the Atlanta Falcons.

The signing of PJ Walker could have a major impact in the 2023 NFL Draft. If the Chicago Bears are convinced that Justin Fields is their No.1 quarterback and Walker is the backup, it becomes highly unlikely they’ll try to climb back from their current No.9 overall pick (acquired from the Panthers).
