Former Bears Star Expresses Discontent Over GM Ryan Poles’ Controversial Decision, Sparking Debate Among Fans and Analysts
Former Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen has publicly criticized General Manager Ryan Poles for allowing fellow running back David Montgomery to leave the team. In an Instagram post, Cohen stated, “Any GM who would let bro walk is stupid AF.”
Montgomery, drafted by the Bears in 2019, consistently rushed for over 800 yards each season. Despite the Bears’ contract offer, Montgomery signed with the Detroit Lions, who presented a more lucrative deal.
Cohen’s comments reflect growing concerns about Poles’ management decisions, including his reported dissatisfaction with the team’s power structure and challenges in the coaching search.
As the Bears face internal challenges, Cohen’s remarks highlight the scrutiny on Poles’ leadership and its impact on the team’s future.
