The 36-year-old Poles was the Kansas City Chiefs’ executive director of player personnel.

The #Bears are working on a deal with Ryan Poles as their next GM and are trying to close it out, sources tell me and @RapSheet. Still talks to come with Poles, who is at the team facility, but the team’s hope is it gets done before Poles’ interview with the #Vikings tomorrow.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the team could be pairing Poles with Jim Caldwell, who could become the team’s head coach:

Former Lions and Colts’ HC Jim Caldwell is in the Bears’ building today. Matching the experienced Caldwell with the upstart Ryan Poles is a gameplan that some around the league now believe the Bears easily could deploy.

After finishing 6-11 and missing the playoffs, the Bears decided to start anew by firing head coach Matt Nagy and general manager Ryan Pace.
