Another quarterback domino has fallen.

The Chicago Bears are trading former first-round pick out of Ohio State Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers, a person with knowledge of the deal told USA TODAY Sports.

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the deal.

The Steelers are sending the Bears a 2025 sixth-round pick that could become a fourth-round pick. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the pick becomes a fourth-rounder if Fields plays 51% of the offensive snaps this season.

The trade comes one day after the Steelers traded 2022 first-round pick Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles. That move appeared to pave the way for free agent pickup Russell Wilson to start, but the Fields addition brings added intrigue to the Steelers' offseason.

Even if the Pittsburgh job is indeed Wilson's for 2024 — ESPN reported that was still the case — Fields, just 25 years old, gives the Steelers a potential quarterback of the future. The 11th overall pick in 2021 showed occasional flashes of brilliance in his three seasons in Chicago. How everything shakes out remains to be seen.

For the Bears the calculus is more simple: With Fields now gone. they will be taking a quarterback with the first pick in the 2024 draft. USC quarterback Caleb Williams, the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner, is the likely choice.

Through two seasons at Ohio State, he completed 68.4 percent of his passes for 5,373 yards with 63 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He also ran for 867 yards and 15 touchdowns.

Fields finished 20-2 as a Buckeyes starter, the second-highest winning percentage by an OSU starting quarterback with at least 16 starts in his career. Only Rex Kern, who led Ohio State to a 25-2 stretch between 1968 and 1970, holds a better record.

His 181.4 passer efficiency rating in 2019 broke the single-season school record of 174.1 set by Haskins during the previous fall. A 70.2% completion percentage in 2020 was also a school record.
