Bears salary cap hits for every player on 2023 roster ahead of free agency

The Chicago Bears are gearing up for an important 2023 offseason, where general manager Ryan Poles will be looking to build up the roster. And it all starts this week with free agency, where Chicago is expected to be active.

The Bears are slated to have roughly $75 million in salary cap space — the most in the NFL — to work with. That should help Poles address needs on the defensive and offensive lines.

But before free agency begins, here’s a look at the salary cap hit for each Bears player currently under contract in 2023:
