The Bears are cutting defensive tackle Eddie Goldman, who becomes the second salary cap casualty of the offseason for new general manager Ryan Poles.
The move comes just one day after the Bears traded star pass rusher Khalil Mack to the Los Angeles Chargers for a 2022 second-round selection and a 2023 sixth-round pick. Also on Friday, Adam Schefter reported the Bears are cutting running back Tarik Cohen with an injury designation.
Goldman’s release doesn’t come as much of a surprise given his massive $11.8 million cap hit and the switch to a 4-3 scheme under new head coach Matt Eberflus. Coupled with his down year, this was an easy decision for Poles after he couldn’t find a trade partner.
