No, Aaron Lemming did a breakdown of it on Twitter. He figures the Bears have $44 mill in effective space before accounting for the other signings. Once including those signings based on whats been reported and figuring the contracts being replaced on the TOP 51, the Bears have $34 mill in effective space. He says the Bears can spend about $10 to $12 mill more prior to September. He also notes that there are several ways for them to create more space this off season, plus the $90+ mill in cap space they'll have next year.
All is fine and great, but I really would like to get Chase Young in. THen im happy.
I have mixed feelings on Chase Young...but yeah, another defensive end would be good. You also have to remember there are gonna be more guys cut as teams work to get their cap in order.
Tonight, I'm still in a bit of shock that Poles signed KA. This guy is a monster upgrade over Mooney. And I'm thinking we still could see a WR added in the draft. It's a bit stunning to watch a GM who so skillfully pulled off the PERFECT tank year - that set the table for us getting the #1 quarterback in this draft class... a draft class that looks stacked with some studs at QB. We get the best of the best.
I am stunned. I can't remember a GM who has been this successful at building offense (essentially in 2 seasons, after the tank year). We are in for a real treat this year watching Keenan and DJ together with Gerald Everette paired with Kmet - and Caleb Williams slinging the rock. How cool is that?
