The Bears have plenty to prove. The good news for their fans? They’re eager to prove it.
This time last year, Chicago general manager Ryan Poles was trading away parts, most notably edge rusher Robert Quinn. This summer, on Thursday night, Poles added a pass rusher in Yannick Ngakoue, who despite being on his sixth team now has notched 65 career sacks.
By adding Ngakoue, the message is clear: The Bears intend to compete in the wide-open NFC North this season.
