The Bears have lost some valuable players to free agency. But they’re not without their potential compensation.
According to Over The Cap, the Bears are currently looking at a projection of three sixth-round compensatory picks for 2021.
Those come courtesy of new contracts for defensive lineman Nick Williams, inside linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis and quarterback Chase Daniel.

Looking at a projection of three 6ths for the Bears right now (KPL, Williams, Daniel)
— BradOTC (@BradOTC) March 17, 2020
Williams will sign a two-year deal worth $10 million with the Lions, which will keep him int he NFC North. Pierre-Louis landed with the Redskins, where he’s set to make $3.45 million.
Meanwhile, Daniel continues to navigate the NFL better than any back-up ever. He’s set to sign a three-year deal with the Lions that will give him $13 million.
The Bears were previous projected to land a fifth-round compensatory pick for inside linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski, who agreed to terms with the Raiders. But the signing of All-Pro pass rusher Robert Quinn negated that compensatory selection.
Chicago earned one fourth-round compensatory pick for 2020 for safety Adrian Amos, who signed with the Packers last offseason.
