Chicago Bears FIRE Senior Vice President Cliff Stein! Dive into the Drama Unfolding in the Team’s Front Office!”
Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune has reported that Senior Vice President and General Counsel Cliff Stein — a mouthful of a title — has left the organization.
Cliff leaves the organization after serving 22 years in various roles, but most notably, as their dedicated financial salary cap expert.
The #Bears are working to fill out Matt Eberflus’ coaching staff and now they have a significant departure outside of football operations.
Senior vice president/general counsel Cliff Stein is out after nearly 22 years.
Kevin Warren has decided changes in senior leadership was needed moving forward. The only other person to have worked the salary cap for the Bears was Joey Laine, who was hired by former Bears GM Ryan Pace in 2015, then fired by GM Ryan Poles in 2022. Joey Laine now serves in a similar capacity with the Green Bay Packers.
During that time Joey Laine was with the organization, Cliff Stein remained on board as a senior advisor and general counsel to executive leadership. He also interviewed for the Bears’ team president position last year, per a source familiar with the situation. What happens next remains to be seen.
