Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles has continued retooling the roster in his third offseason, which included the additions of some impact veterans in free agency and the NFL draft.
Currently, the Bears have $21.67 million in available cap space, which is the 14th most in the NFL.
They still have two unsigned rookies in quarterback Caleb Williams and receiver Rome Odunze, which will impact that number.
But Chicago could certainly make some additional moves this summer, including at edge rusher.
The Bears have allocated roughly the same amount to the offense ($123.08 million) compared to defense ($123.76 million).
When you break it down, Chicago is spending among the most cap space at defensive line, wide receiver and secondary.
Let’s take a look at how the salary cap breaks down for the Bears in 2024, by position, according to Spotrac.
The vast majority of the 2024 draft class has signed.
The biggest cluster of unsigned picks falls in round one.
Five players aren’t signed. They come from three teams.
Bears quarterback Caleb Williams (No. 1) and receiver Rome Odunze (No. 9) are not yet under contract.
Ditto for Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (No. 10) and edge rusher Dallas Turner (No. 17).
Also unsigned is Bengals tackle Amarius Mims, the 18th pick in the draft.
All five will have fully-guaranteed four-year deals, with the dollar value slotted based on selection number.
While the 2011 CBA dramatically limited the number of topics for haggling, there are still three main categories.
