Bears Eric Hartline USA TODAY Sports Christian Petersen Kirby Lee Kyle Terada Mark Konezny Robert Deutsch

The Chicago Bears wrapped their 2022 season with a 3-14 record and 10-game losing streak, and they’re heading into an important (and exciting) offseason.

The Bears are slated to have $118 million in salary cap space in 2023, per OverTheCap, which is the most in the NFL (by a wide margin). It’ll give GM Ryan Poles plenty of money to work with as he looks to bring in some new faces (and re-sign some familiar faces).

Let’s check out 40 potential free agents the Bears could target heading into the offseason:
