Thanks guys for stating the obvious yet again. $35-million in cap space to sign two starting defensive ends a starting DT a starting safety a starting corner a MIKE .
Now add in two backup DTs two backup corners a backup safety a backup linebacker a punter a kick return specialist a backup QB.
Oh and offense starting center backup TE.
17 players off the top of my head and $35 million with which to get the job that's an average of about $2-million per player.

Golly, what a sticky wicket ole Phil has got us into. At least it's better than the Saints. They will have to be looking for some 2 way players since they are $9M over the cap with only 47 players signed for next year. If there were only some way that they could manipulate those numbers!!!

At least 5 draft picks will take those roles. That's about 4.5 Mil total. The Bears can re-sign a lot of their own players for less than 2Mil if they want...including Collins, McManis, Castonzo, Bowman, Williams, Anderson. Garza won't cost much more than that. And they can find players like they did with Slauson and Williams and Anderson for under 2Mil. Backups are generally pretty cheap. Especially when you're talking backup TEs and 4th/5th CBs, which you are.
The main concerns are starting quality players at DT, probably both DEs, and at least 1 S. Could get by with Paea and Conte if the rest of the D is good enough. 2 of those 4 positions can be filled with draft picks. 1 big price FA and 1 mid level FA

BF51 apparently thinks that salary cap hit = salary paid to player.

Yeah, salary cap issues are BF51's journalistic blind spot. Well, that and every other subject.

And yet when it is all said and done, it will be done and you will be wondering how in the fuck were they able to do it. If there is one guy on the buys to never doubt, it's Cliff Fucking Stein.
It doesn't matter what your beef is with Emery, Trestman, or anyone else. Cliff Fucking Stein is so good that when the Bears cleaned fucking house of Lovie and Angelo, Cliff Fucking Stein came to work the next day as secure as ever in his job. If Emery and Trestman are fired again, I will put money on the fact, the new GM would come in see Cliff Fucking Stein and ask him if he wants sugar in his coffee.

There's just too many decisions that haven't been made and too many options for Emery & Stein to work the cap to present a definitive picture right now. But, you can get a sense for some of the options by using the salary cap calculator at http://overthecap.com/calculator/?Team=Bears
