The Chicago Bears have secured their future by extending general manager Ryan Poles with a three-year contract through the 2029 season. This decision aligns him with head coach Ben Johnson, also bound until 2029. Since taking over in 2022, Poles has orchestrated a significant roster rebuild, culminating in the team acquiring the No. 1 overall pick in back-to-back drafts. The Bears notably traded this pick to the Carolina Panthers in March 2023, bringing in standout wide receiver DJ Moore and multiple draft picks, which were pivotal in drafting promising talents such as quarterback Caleb Williams.
