The Bears have a clear need at pass rusher, but general manager Ryan Poles doesn't feel the need to add a veteran defensive end just yet.
The Bears could still add a pass rusher, but Ryan Poles wants to fully evaluate the current group before he does"In the front office, it's our job to look at every option that's out there to improve our football team," Poles said on Friday at Halas Hall as veterans reported for training camp.
Poles made minor moves to address the pass rush in the offseason by signing Jacob Martin and drafting Austin Booker in the fifth round. Without Ngakoue or a similar replacement, the Bears' defensive end room has just Martin, Booker, and DeMarcus Walker behind Pro Bowler Montez Sweat."I don’t really see it as a defensive end problem," Poles said."Our mindset’s always, how can we make a position group the best we can possibly make it and as deep as we possibly can make it.
