So there has been all of this talk of which combination of FA WR's who the Bears should sign and it got me wondering just how much the Bears have been spending on WR's under Pace.
So I went to Spotrac and tallied up every significant WR salary for each of the last 3 years which included active, IR, PUP and dead cap money.
As you can see, the totals have been very consistent under Pace's business plan averaging 18 mil per year.
2018 cap is currently at 9 mil after they tender Cam so they have roughly 8-10mil to shell out on WR's and this includes draft picks.
2015 - 18 mil
2016 - 19 mil
2017 - 17 mil
Cap hits rounded - Expressed in millions
2018 So far 9 mil
White 5.3
Meredith 2.8(tender)
Wheaton .8(dead cap)
2017 Total 17 mil
Wheaton 5.3
Wright 1.8
Inman 1.6
Bellamy .6
White 4.5
Meredith .6(IR)
( all dead cap)
Cruz 1.5
Mcbride .4
Thompson .3
Gentry .2
2016 Total 19 mil
Jeffery 11
Thompsn .7
Bellamy .6
Meredith .5
Royal 4.5 (IR)
Wilson 1.7(IR)
2015 Total 18 mil
Royal 5.5
Bellamy .7
Mariani .7
Meredith .4
Thompson .3
Jeffery 1.4(IR)
Wilson .6
White 3(PUP)
