Below article talks about stagnant cap for 2020 and 2021. Bears basically have 2M and 5M for cap. Does not include signing any FA including Robinson.

But a bigger issue may be looming in 2021. If the salary cap stays the same from 2020 to 2021 – about $198 million – the Bears, right now, would be left with about $5 million to spend next offseason. Cuts can be made, of course (releasing Jimmy Graham, Charles Leno and Bobby Massie would result in $6 million or more in cap savings for each player) and contracts can be restructured for short-term relief.
