The Chicago Bears are in a state of uncertainty regarding their general manager, Ryan Poles, following the firing of head coach Matt Eberflus. President Kevin Warren publicly endorsed Poles, but skepticism surrounds his future as he enters the final year of his contract.

With a coaching search underway, three potential outcomes loom: an extension for Poles, his dismissal, or his resignation. The Bears have a history of tumultuous management changes, and Poles' past decisions, including the hiring of Eberflus, have raised doubts about his judgment.

While extending Poles could provide stability and allow him to build on recent roster improvements, firing him might open the door for a new GM to enhance the team further. The decision rests heavily on the leadership at Halas Hall.
