Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles faces significant challenges in improving the team's offensive line after a poor performance against the Arizona Cardinals. The Bears, missing starting tackles Braxton Jones and Darnell Wright, suffered a 20-point loss, raising questions about the team's investment in the line. Despite drafting tackle Darnell Wright and signing guard Nate Davis, the Bears have struggled, allowing 29 sacks this season. With both starting tackles injured, the Bears will need to make multiple changes in the offseason to strengthen the line and protect quarterback Caleb Williams. Poles has the resources, including draft picks and salary cap space, to revamp the offensive line. The Bears may look to free agency and the 2025 draft to find new talent, aiming to avoid repeating past mistakes in protecting their quarterback.
