Column: It’s easy to criticize Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles for the meager return in the Justin Fields trade. But his hands were tied.

Quick Glance: Bears Trade Justin Fields to Steelers, Pave Way for Promising Quarterback
- The trade of Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears to the Pittsburgh Steelers cleared the path to potentially draft USC's Caleb Williams with the first overall pick.
- Fields is expected to serve as the backup for nine-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson, who recently signed a one-year deal with the Steelers.
- Chicago missed out on a significant opportunity by not trading the first pick for a substantial return.
- The historically quarterback-challenged Bears seldom have the chance to select a talent like Williams.

mercurynews.com/2024/03/13/veteran-eric-kendricks-coming-to-fill-49ers-need-at-linebacker/
Quick Glance: LB Kendricks selects NFC rival over 49ers amid free-agency surge
- Following the dismissal of Steve Wilks as Defensive Coordinator, the onset of Free Agency brought about extensive changes in the 49ers' defensive line.
- Despite the potential synergy between Kendricks and Fred Warner, the seasoned nine-year veteran opted unexpectedly for the Dallas Cowboys instead of the 49ers after agreeing to a one-year contract.
- The release of Arik Armstead and the acquisition of Maliek Collins by the 49ers indicate a clear reorientation in the team's defensive line.
- Defensive initiatives under the new Coordinator Nick Sorensen aim to fortify the 49ers, with the losses of backup quarterback Sam Darnold to the Minnesota Vikings and the restructuring of Kyle Juszczyk's contract for salary cap room standing out as noteworthy developments.
