Will Aaron Rodgers return put crimp in Bears’ plans?

When Ryan Poles was introduced as the Bears’ general manager in January at Halas Hall, one line above all would have brought the house down if they had allowed fans into the press conference:

“We’re going to take the [NFC] North and never give it back,” Poles said.

That job got a little bit tougher Tuesday, when four-time NFL Most Valuable Player Aaron Rodgers ended a year of drama by agreeing to terms on a four-year, $200 million contract with the Packers, according to NFL Network. The deal reportedly includes $153 million in guaranteed money and actually reduces his massive $46.
