Jerry Angelo has been the manager of Chicago bears since 2001. Already 10 years he became general manager of the Chicago bears in 2011. There is the horrendous news that he has been fired. Facts are still coming out, but numerous reports are confirming that Jerry Angelo is fired as the General Manager of the Chicago Bears

Team said that ”President and CEO Ted Phillips informed Jerry Angelo this morning he will not return as the team’s general manager.”

According to the team’s official site ”No other changes will be made. That includes Lovie Smith, who will remain Bears head coach.”

Angelo, among many Bears fans was an unpopular figure, and regardless of the team being reasonably successful, has drawn ire for his mistake to draft adequately at the offensive line and skill positions. Angelo has made several free agent purchases and trades, such as the Cutler trade and signing Julius Peppers, but has not been as successful at drafting key parts. When Cutler got the injury, the lack of a backup and the problems that Cutler was shielding were exposed. He has also taken a hard stance with Matt Forte, the other star player on the Bears offense.
