Bears request permission to interview Saints Assistant GM Jeff Ireland

The problem with the Bears is that the McCaskey family doesn't have a pile of cash like other franchise owners. I'd wager that, if they were to try and buy a franchise under the current rules, they would be denied.

This is a really good point. Gayle Benson is knocking on the top 3rd of NFL owners in net worth.

Although somehow the Jags and Fins' owners are in the top 5, so even if you have a a lot of $$$, you have to spend it wisely I guess.

Whereas, according to scottfujita.com (!), the McCaskey family are the 5th poorest. That's gotta have an impact on the GM job.
