Bears general manager Ryan Poles wasn’t going to box himself in with precise expectations for the 2023 season, but “more wins” was playing it a little too safe. The Bears could finish 4-13 or 5-12 and have more wins than last season.
In Matt Eberflus’ second season, Justin Fields in his second year in Luke Getsy’s offense and Poles having draft and salary cap capital to mold a roster to fit his needs, the teardown is over, the rebuild is on — and expectations for significant improvement in 2023 should be high.
