Bears GM Ryan Poles responds to Robert Griffin III’s Caleb Williams take

ORLANDO, Fla. — Former Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III said in an online video last week that Caleb Williams “should pull an Eli Manning” and ask to be traded rather than letting the Bears draft him first overall, based on “everything that’s happened with Justin Fields.” The Bears traded the quarterback earlier this month.

Bears general manager Ryan Poles responded Tuesday, telling ESPN’s “Pat McAfee Show” at the NFL annual meeting that he was annoyed.

“It pisses me off a little bit to be honest with you because we were hired to break a cycle,” Pole said.
