If I’m the Bears I’m sitting right there (at number one) and I’m taking Bryce Young and Justin Fields can go to the highest bidder.” So to me you risk a long-term nightmare if you let Bryce Young go somewhere else and light it up (because) you could’ve had him, you’ve got the first overall pick but to do so (draft Young) you would have to move Justin Fields.

Bryce Young is a much better thrower of the football as we speak than Justin Fields is.

I hope (for our new stadium) we just get a dome. You of course wanna try and stay warm on the sideline, but it’s hard to stay warm in that weather,” he said during an appearance on the ‘Pardon My Take Podcast’.
