In the wake of Bears general manager Ryan Poles receiving an extension that aligns him with the new head coach Ben Johnson until 2029, Bears fans are all wondering if it was the right move or does he even deserves one.
Despite his shortcomings, Poles has done some great work in raising the Chicago Bears from the aging roster that was in salary cap hell when he took over in 2022. One of the smartest moves he made was locking down wide receiver DJ Moore and cornerback Jaylon Johnson to long-term deals before the market for both positions exploded soon after.
