The Chicago Bears search for a new team president is progressing with Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren emerging as one of the organization’s top candidates, according to ESPN.
That information became public Thursday, with ESPN reporting Warren is a finalist who met with the team in-person about the job.
The Bears continue searching for a successor to current team President and CEO Ted Phillips, who announced in September that he would be retiring at the end of February. The team, however, would not confirm Warren’s candidacy or provide details on the status of their search.
