Baker Mayfield knows exactly what Justin Fields is going through
Not too long ago, Baker Mayfield was waiting around to see where the Cleveland Browns were going to trade him after they had given up on him in favor of Deshaun Watson.
Now, Justin Fields is in a similar situation, as the Chicago Bears are expected to spend the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft on USC quarterback Caleb Williams.
Mayfield ended up being dealt to the Carolina Panthers eventually, and after bouncing between them and the Los Angeles Rams, finally found a long-term home with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Appearing on NFL Network on Wednesday, Mayfield was asked if he had any advice for Fields as he navigates his current situation with the Bears:

Mayfield signed a cheap one-year deal with the Bucs last offseason, and responded with the best season of his career, making the Pro Bowl while leading Tampa Bay to a third straight NFC South title and a narrow road loss in the second round of the playoffs to the Detroit Lions.
Hopefully for Fields, a similar bounce-back awaits him in the next chapter of his football journey.
