Bears GM Ryan Poles Under Pressure Amidst Losing Streak

Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles faces uncertainty as his tenure, marked by a 15-36 record since January 2022, approaches its conclusion. Despite this, Bears Chairman George McCaskey and President Kevin Warren continue to express trust in Poles to lead the team forward, even after the recent firing of head coach Matt Eberflus. However, ambiguity surrounds Poles' contract status, with conflicting reports on its duration compared to Eberflus', leading to questions about his long-term future. Poles himself has declined to disclose details about his contract, calling it a personal matter. In addition to leadership concerns, Poles has identified the need for quarterback Caleb Williams to grow following a season in which he was sacked a league-high 68 times, indicating broader issues with the team's offensive performance. Moving forward, the Bears need to address their offensive line and coaching staff to improve their fortunes in the upcoming season.
