Justin Fields for Kyle Pitts and a draft pick? That’s one bold possibility that ESPN is putting forth as the Chicago Bears explore their options for the 2024 season.

In case you weren’t already convinced, the Lions’ NFC Championship Game loss to the 49ers should have done the trick. It should’ve proved that Detroit clearly needs secondary help. And Lions general manager Brad Holmes could very well choose to address the need with the team’s first-round pick in this April’s NFL Draft (No. 29 overall). If Holmes decides to go in that direction on the first night of the draft, Toledo cornerback Quinyon Mitchell would be a near-perfect pick. In recent mock drafts, Mitchell has been a popular pick for Detroit with the 29th overall selection – and for…

That may not be the case after all, according to one report. On Friday, Matt Zenitz of 247 Sports reported that Jay Harbaugh’s Chargers hiring is not a done deal.
