PALM BEACH, Fla. — Last time Bears chairman George McCaskey attended the NFL’s annual meeting — three years ago, due to coronavirus-related cancellations — he was on top of the world. His team had skyrocketed to an NFC North title and believed it’d be competing for a championship.
It’s quite different this week at The Breakers, shortly removed from rebooting the organization by firing general manager Ryan Pace and coach Matt Nagy and replacing them with Ryan Poles and Matt Eberflus.
The rebuild is off to a fairly quiet start, with more talent exiting Halas Hall than entering it.
