The Chicago Bears are in a great position heading into a pivotal 2023 offseason, where they have the first overall pick in the NFL draft and roughly $100 million in salary cap space. That should give general manager plenty of resources to work with as he overhauls the roster this offseason.
Chicago has the most salary cap space in the NFL, by a wide margin, which gives them in a position to make some big moves when free agency kicks off next month. But they do have a good amount of dead cap space for the 2023 season.
According to Over The Cap, the Bears currently have $21.97 million in dead money for the 2023 season, which is the fourth most in the NFL. That should increase once Al-Quadin Muhammad’s release is official.
Here is a look at the six players who are responsible for the team’s dead money. (All figures are from Over The Cap).
