Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles said he expects Justin Fields to be the team's starting quarterback next season and just about slammed the door on drafting one with the No. 1 overall pick.
Now, all eyes are on Poles. Along with the top pick, he has about $118 million in salary cap room to start building the roster after essentially tearing things down once he and coach Matt Eberflus were hired a year ago to replace the fired Pace and Matt Nagy.
“I think we have really good flexibility to help this team, regardless if it’s making the pick there or moving back a little bit or moving back a lot,” Poles said. “We’ll be open to everything.”He ran for 1,143 yards in 15 games and might have broken the NFL single-season quarterback rushing record of 1,206 set by Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson in 2019 had he not missed the finale because of a strained hip.
“I thought we used the resources that we had to the best of our ability based on what was there,” he said. “I wish there was a perfect scenario where you could just clean up everything and get good. So I thought we made, solid, sound decisions to do that.”
