It’s been just a few days since the Chicago Bears announced the hiring of Ryan Poles as the seventh general manager in team history. - The 36-year old spent his entire front office career with the Kansas City Chiefs, holding a number of positions in both the scouting and player personnel departments. He was most recently the executive director of player personnel for the Chiefs, but now gets his first GM job with the Bears, the same team that brought him in as an undrafted free agent in 2009. - Seeing as he’s only been on the job for less than a week with a couple notable hires under his belt, it’s next to impossible to judge how he’ll pan out in the role. But I still have some takeaways from his hiring and would it could mean for the Bears going forward.
