Chicago Bears fans blame Kevin Warren for reported dissent in Halas Hall about keeping Justin Fields

As previously discussed on CCS:

Adam Schefter joined NFL Live to discuss the Justin Fields saga. He mentioned how the Bears would like to get a deal done involving Fields as soon as they can. He also revealed the one big reason that could delay or even prevent a Justin Fields trade. Here is what Schefter had to say:

“The Bears said at the combine they’d like to get a deal [for Justin Fields] in place by the time the new league year opens which is one week from today which means the Bears are on the clock.”  -Adam Schefter

Then Schefter moved on to the most important piece of information he had to report. There are people withing the  Chicago Bears organization who like Justin Fields and may want to keep him.

“I think there are people within the organization that would like to see him [Justin Fields] stay there too which is one more wrench to throw in there.” – Adam Schefter

Kevin Warren supports Justin Fields

Many fans believe Warren is the “people” in the organization Schefter is referring to. Per a transcription of Warren’s interview with WGN 9 last month by Gene Chamberlain with Sports Illustrated, the president said he is a supporter of Fields:

“I know from my standpoint, and I come to the table I’m a supporter of Justin, you know, because I got a chance to work with him when I was commissioner of the Big Ten Confernce,” Warren told Payton. “He is incredibly talented, he is smart, he works hard and he wants to be a great NFL football player.

“And so now he just needs to make sure that he has the support around him. He’s working hard. And then I would love to see him, you know, this offseason make sure he’s totally healthy going into the season next year.”
