It’s been about 10 months since the Chicago Bears parted ways with general manager Ryan Pace after a disastrous 2021 season. Hired by the Bears in in 2015, Pace took the team to its first division title three years later by building a staunch defense and pushing his chips in on quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and head coach Matt Nagy.
The success didn’t last however and the talented roster became old and expensive quickly while the quarterback position suffered. Despite mounting pressure from the outside to make a change following an uneven 2020 season, the Bears opted to stick with Pace and Nagy for one more season.
