Ryan Poles is in a good place with Bears' fans now, but if he managed to pull of this trade his status would elevate to another level.
Chicago Bears fans wouldn't have been blamed if they didn't think a whole lot of Ryan Poles as a general manager for the first few years of his tenure. The good moves could not cover up all the misses, and it was worth wondering if the team would ever become a consistent contender under his watch.
Today, Bears fans are happy to have Poles as the team's general manager.
