6 moves Bears GM Ryan Poles could make next as fire sale continues

The Chicago Bears are making plenty of moves ahead of the start of free agency and the new league year. New general manager Ryan Poles has made some tough but necessary moves to build for the future and free up some salary cap for 2022 and beyond.

Chicago also parted ways with running back Tarik Cohen (as an injury designation) and defensive tackle Eddie Goldman, after Poles couldn’t find a trade partner for the former second rounder.
