You are then locked in with Fields for 2 years and they are expensive years especially the last one. Then you add in a high draft pick QB and that is a lot of money tied up in QB over the next 2 years.

Honestly though, it is probably better to just take multiple swings at it, in baseball they give you three strikes for a reason. Billy Beane says if he needs a starting pitcher in the majors it takes 3 guys in the minors, because 1 flames out and gets hurt, one doesn’t develop, and then the third one you get a guy. Take as many stabs at it as you can and see if you find a guy. Just make sure the guys you pass on wouldn’t have turned Fields into that guy.

I think at that point you only do it as a value pick. If you see a QB in those 3 - 4 rounds that you value much higher you take him, because at a certain point the value just matters. I think like what Wash. did with Kirk Cousins.

I would think the contracts make it tough. Most coaches still get paid after getting fired, so not much incentive to work a lesser job, and how would you rework the contract.

I don’t see it happening, he’ll DC somewhere else.
