The Bears have lost some valuable players to free agency. But they’re not without their potential compensation.

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.

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.
