According to Biggs, Kyle Fullers restructuring adds 2 voidable years to the end of it and saves the Bears $6m in cap space next year. Huge.

Indeed - there will probably extend Robinson to open up some money, potentially gain a shitload of space if Long retires.

They can just cut Long and gain 8m. Same with Prince. And another 4.5 in Gabriel. So you're talking an additional 26m that is easily available to them.

I’m hoping they go to Prince and even Gabriel to a lesser extent to see if they are open to a restructure and a pay cut.

Also, I expect Floyd to sign an extension at a much lower cost or be traded/cut which would open up a nice chunk of cap room.

I think you will be disappointed on Floyd. There is no point in keeping him. He rushed over 450 times and can’t get to the QB. He is the very definition of replaceable. And for his vaunted coverage abilities, qbs completed 85% of the passes targeted to people he was covering.

Gabriel just needs to be cut.

FWIW, I'm not sure they will net the full 6M in new spendable cap. According to the articles I read the new deal was a 7.5M bonus which is pro-rated 2019-2023 at 1.5M each year. That 1.5M hits 2019's cap and reduces the rollover credit, thus; 6M less 1.5 = 4.5M net.
