They’re not taking picks away from anyone to give these to the bears. They give out comp picks like candy already. It hurts no one to give the bears these picks and follows the spirit of the rule even if they disagree with whether or not this hire follows the letter of the rule (which I will argue till the day I die that it does). They could have come out of this with a little positive PR at the cost of nothing

And let’s not forget that when the Bears hired Poles the Chiefs got comp picks back, even though Ted Phillips was team president. So this is just the league makin shit up just to make shit up
