Ryan Poles sends a strong message to potential trade partners
Bears GM Ryan Poles made his asking price known for any team trying to trade up for the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles hit the podium at the NFL’s Scouting Combine on Tuesday and, to no surprise, all of the talk centered around the team’s No. 1 overall pick.
Many expect the Bears to end up dealing the pick, but what Chicago could get in return is still a mystery. That being said, Poles made his expectations for potential trade partners crystal clear in Indianapolis.
“It just depends how far back. But year, we need a lot, and that gives us more opportunity to bring in more players. It’s a good situation to be in for where our club is.”
Couple the intriguing quarterback talent with a handful of teams desperate for a signal caller and the Bears should come out of a potential trade with a king’s ransom.
Chicago isn’t one star prospect away from contending in the NFC North. But if the Bears can fall back a few spots and still get their guy while hauling in a ridiculous supply of draft capital, Chicago will likely walk away as the draft’s biggest winner.
