Ted Crews is bringing his extensive experience, including three Super Bowl rings, to the Bears organization at Halas Hall.
Crews, who previously led the Chiefs’ public relations department for 12 years, has been appointed by the Bears. In his new role, he will serve as a special advisor to president/CEO Kevin Warren and chief administrative officer.
With 26 years of NFL experience, Crews is seen as a valuable addition to the Bears while being a significant loss for the Chiefs.
He’s known for his deep understanding of how media contributes to the sport’s promotion, even during challenging times for a team. Additionally, Crews has always been approachable and supportive in responding to media inquiries.
It’s noteworthy to see someone like Crews, who has dedicated a substantial part of their career to the NFL, transition into a role of greater responsibility and influence beyond traditional public relations.
This move reflects a growing recognition of the value that PR professionals bring to sports organizations.
For Crews, joining the Bears holds personal significance as they were his first favorite football team, particularly during the era of iconic players like Walter Payton, Jim McMahon, and the Fridge. This familiarity and affinity make his return to the Bears organization even more meaningful.
Crews’ appointment is seen as a positive development for the Bears, providing them with valuable expertise and insight. However, it poses a challenge for the Chiefs as they now need to find a suitable replacement for his role.
