The Latest Breaking News from Ryan Poles

Jim Harbaugh is expected to be in high demand in the NFL, but Bears GM Ryan Poles said he didn't speak to him about a head coach job.

Ryan Poles shared Chicago’s approach to decide who will be QB1 next season.

He added that he’s in no hurry — “In my mind right now, I’m gonna take this all the way to April,” he said — to make the decision.

The Bears’ meetings to plan the direction of the franchise at the start of a meaningful offseason produced that verdict just days after he finished his second season 7-10. There will be changes, though: The Bears are firing most of their offensive staff, including coordinator Luke Getsy.

It’s complicated because of their quarterback situation and other factors, but the Bears should have good options for their next offensive coordinator.

Bears co-director of player personnel Jeff King is drawing interest for the Chargers GM vacancy.

Going from 3-14 to 7-10 reflects progress, but the details and detours along the way make the Eberflus decision more complicated.

Coach Matt Eberflus’ bosses have not publicly endorsed him as the head coach in 2024, though both Poles and Warren have, within the last week, praised the culture inside Halas Hall.

Eberflus said he looked forward to meeting with his bosses. Their questioning of him should begin with the hottest topic in Chicago: Justin Fields.

Cunningham, the Bears’ assistant general manager, interviewed for two openings a year ago and turned down a job offer from the Cardinals.

The Fields support starts in the Bears locker room, where teammates have expressed admiration for their QB and lobbied for his return.
