It was too early for a victory lap, but Bears general manager Ryan Poles earned at least a bow for renewing hope and inspiring faith at Halas Hall heading into the 2024 season with an infusion of talent that has significantly upgraded the Bears’ roster from the one Poles inherited from Ryan Pace in January of 2022.
Wide receivers DJ Moore and Keenan Allen, defensive end Montez Sweat, right tackle Darnell Wright, running back DeAndre Swift, linebacker T.J. Edwards, safety Jaquan Brisker and cornerback Kyler Gordon were among the upgrades.
