Chicago Bears fans made it clear that they overwhelmingly approve GM Ryan Poles' recent trades for offensive linemen Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson.

It's been a busy week of trades for the Chicago Bears, and free agency hasn't even begun. On Tuesday, GM Ryan Poles traded a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to the LA Rams for guard Jonah Jackson.

The Chicago Bears' trades for offensive linemen Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson have not only signaled their commitment to upgrading the offensive line, but it's built excitement around the franchise in the national spotlight.
