LS is a position where if they do a good job you never think about it even once and if they don't every routine kick becomes a nail biter.

Glad the Bears have someone in place for next season that they have confidence in.

S Deandre Houston-Carson & LS Patrick Scales both signed for the 3 year vet. minimum $720,000, guessing small bonus for both (~$20k)

OLB Aaron Lynch $1M base salary, $250k signing bonus. $1,453,125 2019 cap hit per @kfishbain

Bears 2019 cap space around $17.7 million

That's an interesting number for Lynch considering he made like 4 mil on a one year deal last season.

Yep.
It's a solid price for him in 2019, but really highlights how much they overpaid for him last year.

I thought he earned his $4M when healthy. Seemed to be the perfect 3rd OLB last year.

That's stunningly cheap for a pass rush guy with a bit of skill, even for a backup. I bet we got the nod because we're now a destination instead of a jumping off point.
Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".

Go back to leather helmets, NFL.
