Revamping the Offensive Line
The Chicago Bears have long been aware of their pressing need for an edge rusher to complement Montez Sweat. This requirement has been highlighted as the team’s second-highest priority for the offseason, with a significant focus on bolstering the offensive line. General Manager Ryan Poles has spearheaded a strategic overhaul of the offensive line, making impactful moves to address this crucial area.
Acquiring All-Pro Joe Thuney
In a bold and calculated move, Ryan Poles orchestrated the acquisition of All-Pro guard Joe Thuney from the Kansas City Chiefs. This transaction involved trading a 2026 fourth-round pick to secure Thuney’s services, along with adding a sixth-round pick to sweeten the deal. Thuney’s arrival marks a pivotal moment in the Bears’ offensive line transformation, bringing a wealth of experience, skill, and leadership to the team.
