Almost as soon as the Chicago Bears had filed the paperwork to officially trade for Washington Commanders edge defender Montez Sweat, a troubling question thought dampened the (mostly) good vibes from the move.
It’s the one thing to suggest the Sweat trade, which sent what could be a high second-round pick to the Commanders in exchange, could have positive implications for general manager Ryan Poles’ job safety. (Extending him to that new four-year, $98 million contract finally puts that move into the “good” category.)
After all, if you’re Kevin Warren, you’re probably not signing off on a significant deadline deal such as this unless you have some faith in your general manager, right?
