The Chicago Bears are finalizing a deal to hire Kansas City Chiefs executive director of player personnel Ryan Poles as their next general manager, league sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Poles was among the two finalists for the Minnesota Vikings general manager job, along with Cleveland Browns vice president of football operations Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. He also was a finalist for the New York Giants‘ general manager job, which went to Joe Schoen.
Poles replaces Ryan Pace, who was fired along with head coach Matt Nagy after the regular-season concluded.
