Ahead of free agency, the Chicago Bears had the sixth-most salary cap space at $36.9 million. It gave new general manager Ryan Poles some breathing room as he overhauls his roster.
While Poles has played it mostly conservative — not doling out any big contracts — he’s added some necessary starting and depth pieces that fit his vision for this roster.
The Bears are sitting in a good position with the salary cap following the early wave of free agency. According to ESPN’s Fields Yates, Chicago currently has $16.13 million in available cap space, which is the 11th most among the league.
