The Chicago Bears ended the NFL season with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. There were discussions to start the offseason on whether or not the team would move on from quarterback Justin Fields with how good this draft class' quarterbacks are. The Bears at least delayed those discussions by trading the No. 1 pick to the Carolina Panthers on Friday, March 10.
Compensation update, per sources: Bears trading No. 1 overall pick to Carolina for:
pick No. 9
pick No. 61
a first-round pick in 2024
a second-round pick in 2025
