New Bears president Kevin Warren plans to be ‘involved’ in GM Ryan Poles’ rebuild

Poles answered to chairman George McCaskey last year, but will have incoming president Kevin Warren as his immediate supervisor going forward.

The pressure just got turned up on Bears general manager Ryan Poles, and he’s fine with that.

As Poles enters a pivotal offseason in which he has the No. 1 pick and by far the most salary-cap space in the NFL, he also has a new boss with high standards. When the Bears hired new president Kevin Warren, they made clear Poles would report to him rather than chairman George McCaskey.

And Warren doesn’t sound like he’ll be calling any consultants to help him judge whether Poles has the Bears on course to win a Super Bowl.
