Is this ROCK BOTTOM for Ryan Poles and the Chicago Bears? | CHGO Bears Podcast
The Chicago Bears have lost 7-straight games. They have fired the Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator. Is this rock bottom for GM Ryan Poles and the team? Adam Jahns reported earlier this morning on Hoge & Jahns that Ryan Poles signed a 4-year contract when he signed on with the team. That would leave one year left on his deal following this season. Jahns also reported that Matt Eberflus signed a 5-year deal when he signed with the team, so the Bears will continue to pay him for 2 more seasons following this year. Later, Lance Briggs gives his grades for a dismal performance against the San Francisco 49ers. Join Mark Carman, Herb Howard and Lance Briggs on the CHGO Bears Live Podcast.
