4. They won’t be the last cap-casualties this offseason
This offseason was always going to be a challenge for Pace when it comes to freeing up salary cap space. The Bears currently have roughly $27.1 million in salary cap space after cutting Amukamara and Gabriel, according to Over The Cap.
Amukamara and Gabriel might’ve been the first cap-casualties, but they likely won’t be the last. Pace has some decisions to make regarding other players, including outside linebacker Leonard Floyd (who’s due to make $13.2 million in 2020) and tight ends Adam Shaheen ($1.2 million) and Ben Braunecker ($1.4 million).
