The Chicago Bears are finalizing a deal to hire Ryan Poles as their next general manager, according to multiple NFL insiders.
Poles, who served as the Chiefs assistant director of player personnel, was considered to be a favorite to land the Bears GM job. In fact, he was a finalist for two other franchises: the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants.
Poles was in Chicago for this second interview on Tuesday, where Bears Chairman George McCaskey actually picked him up from the airport himself. It was an indication Chicago could make a move as early as Tuesday, and they did.
