When Ryan Poles became the general manager of the Bears, he knew that their current roster would not be fixed in one offseason.
With no first-round pick in the 2022 draft and several open starting spots from a 6-11 team with multiple bad contracts on the books, Poles inherited a roster with a lot of holes. The Bears had struggled on offense for much of the Matt Nagy era, but that rang especially true in 2021.
A big part of those issues stemmed from the offensive line. Injuries did affect the group, sure, but the unit struggled collectively with protecting quarterbacks Justin Fields, Andy Dalton and Nick Foles.
