Remember as you look at this that you can’t just cut a guy and get all the money back. For example, if you cut Skrine in 2020, you only get ¼ of his 6.4M back. Spotrac quickly gives you the figure when you Manage Cap.

• Brought back Trevathan at about the same money (7M)
• Brought back McManis at about the same
• Brought back Whitehair with a big raise (8M)
• Brought back RRH at the middle tender of 3.3M
• Brought back Bush with a small raise (out of desperation, see below)
• Cut Allan Robinson AND Gabriel AND Patterson to save about 23M. Replaced with a R2 pick and a cheap vet
• Cut O’Donnell and replaced with a R7 pick
• Let Long go, replaced with a R2 pick
• Let Bullard go, replaced with a R6 pick
• Let Kwiatkowski go, replaced with a R5 pick
• Signed Floyd at 9M, less than his 13M rookie option. I’m dubious about him being worth it, but we have nothing behind him and no more meaningful draft picks, either
• Let Chase Daniel go, added some cheap veteran to save 3M
• Clinton-Dix isn’t going to take another reduced contract and I’m out of money, so had to let him go and replace with a R5 pick who will then compete with Bush for the starting SS job. Bleah.
And with all this…it comes out to a shade over 200M. Not a penny to spare anywhere.
2021 doesn’t have all that many meaningful raises coming due – but Eddie Jackson alone will more than wipe out the cap increase for that year.
So, in short:
• 2019 may be the Bears’ best opportunity
• The number of hard choices is just going to accelerate
