Ryan Poles

This is not settled.

He was asked directly, is this something where you think you're understanding you're not getting that big?

He said no.

So it's still on the table.

Look toward March 11th, the start of the league new year.

That is about when.

The NFL releases its full draft order, including those compensatory picks.

This is not a done deal by any means, according to the Bears and according to Ryan Poles.

So Ryan Poles said they believe it's fair that they get those picks.

This is not why he supported Ian Cunningham.

He made that perfectly clear.

This is one of his best friends in the league.

This is somebody whose back he was going to have all the way.

This is not about the picks, but they believe that they are deserving those based on the letter of the law.

And Ian Cunningham was asked about that, too.

And he said, look, my understanding is me being hired leads to third round picks.

I believe the Bears should get third round picks.

So both Ian Cunningham and Ryan Poole's making their case for the Bears to get these draft picks.

We'll see if anything changes here.

I got to support our friend Courtney Cronin.
