Insider Says Chicago Bears Could Have More Moves Planned After Draft By Erik Lambert - April 7th, 2020
Following some minor moves that included the acquisition of offensive lineman Germain Ifedi, reserve linebacker Isaiah Irving, and special teamer DeAndre Houston-Carson, the Chicago Bears have gone silent on the free agent market. Expectations are they’re pretty much out of money at this point and must reserve every penny they have left to secure their upcoming NFL draft class.
The truth is a bit different though. Recent news revealed that the trade for quarterback Nick Foles involved significant restructuring of his contract. One that lowers his salary cap hit to a benign $5.333 million. According to Overthecap.com, this leaves the Bears with $10.8 million in cap space. They could add more if they chose to restructure bigger contracts they have such as Akiem Hicks and Eddie Goldman.
anything less or more then a trade down in the 2nd and I cannot imagine what. Maybe trade Leno or Massie for a late pick? You won't get their value in return though after the OL performance last year.
