For a player to earn the distinction of being selected 1st overall in the NFL Draft, you’d expect for that player to check a number of important boxes.

It seemed inevitable that the Chicago Bears would trade quarterback Justin Fields, but that did not mean that core players on the team like Cole Kmet would not be sad when the deal ultimately did happen.

The Chicago Bears have nothing to play for in the standings in Week 18 against the Green Bay Packers.

Could it be deja vu for Chicago Bears fans?
