say just in regards to Ryan and his staff, you know, my first exposure in the draft room with his

crew was before the combine and to see the consistency with which the schedule comes and the structure,

everything is working. There's a flow. There's a rhythm to's a rhythm to all the madness behind what we do and how

The breaking news, Lou, that we got just about 15 minutes before we went on air.

The Bears and GM Ryan Poles have reached agreement on a contract extension that ties him to the Bears for the next five years.

So that's the 2029 season.

Lou, did you notice that polls had two years remaining on his old deal?

Were you in the know there?

How much time does Ryan Poles have left on his contract?

contracts. So now we know that they are going to be aligned at the hip contract-wise.
