Bears offseason: Breaking down contract statuses at every position for 2022

With Chicago’s offseason in full swing, we decided to take a look at the current contract status at every position heading into 2022.

It’s a new era for the Chicago Bears following the hirings of new general manager Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus, and there’s a busy offseason ahead.

Poles will have plenty of work to do with this roster with an estimated $30 million in available cap space. There are certainly some potential contract extensions and cap casualties heading into free agency.

With the offseason in full swing, we decided to take a look at the current contract status at every position.
