The Chicago Bears made a huge improvement to their offensive line ahead of training camp with the additions of tackle Riley Reiff and guard Michael Schofield.
General manager Ryan Poles might not be getting the credit he deserves for how he improved the offensive line with the Reiff and Schofield additions, specifically when it comes to their impact on the salary cap in 2022.
According to ESPN’s Field Yates, Reiff’s one-year deal, worth up to $12.5 million, is structured in a way where it will count just $3 million against the salary cap. Schofield gets a veteran salary benefit deal, which clocks in under $1 million.
