Packers Fans Make Their Stance Clear After Bears Extend GM Ryan Poles originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
In the three years of having Ryan Poles as their general manager, the Chicago Bears have found limited on-field success, compiling a 15-36 record with no playoff appearances in that stretch.

However, throughout the offseason, he’s facilitated some big moves, including trading for offensive guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson, as well as signing free agent center Drew Dalman and defensive tackle Grady Jarrett.
Now, going into the 2025 season, led by the 2024 No. 1 pick, quarterback Caleb Williams, there’s some hope that the Bears can turn things around and potentially capture their first winning season since 2018.
A lot of faith has been placed in Poles up until this point, as evidenced by Chicago signing him to a five-year extension, keeping him with the team through the 2029 season.

Although the move has received mixed reactions, the Green Bay Packers fans are excited about the new deal, as their team has gone 5-1 against the Bears in Poles’ time with the team.
“Saw Jayden Reed on the jugs machine this morning, now this. Great Packers news day,” said one.
“Thank goodness (as a packers fan) (he hasn’t won a single thing ever),” said another.
“what a huge win for packers fans! MORE POLES! SIGN HIM FOR LIFE!!!!!!” Another added.
A fan said, “Packers fans rejoice. May the offseason champs keep being the offseason champs.”
“This is glorious news for Packers fans,” a fan said.
“Best news of the day as a packers fan,” said another.

Whether these fans will still feel the same way after the Bears and Poles’ newest additions face off against Green Bay next season during their Week 14 and Week 16 matchups remains to be seen.
