Ryan Poles' decision-making this offseason will drastically impact Bears' future

As NFL free agency approaches, moves are being made. The Chicago Bears' offensive line was affected by one move.

Pro Bowl center Drew Dalman informed the team that he is retiring from the NFL. The 27-year-old offensive lineman signed a three-year, $42 million contract with the Bears last March and had $28 million guaranteed.

General manager Ryan Poles will have to navigate an offseason with two glaring holes on the offensive line, center and left tackle, find players to upgrade the pass rush, figure out what to do with four safeties who are not under contract, identify a plan for DJ Moore’s future and do this all without his right-hand man, Ian Cunningham, who is now the general manager of the Atlanta Falcons.
