Looks like Bears are $20M over the estimated $180M cap after the cuts and ARob franchise tag....guessing they will have to extend/restructure Hicks/Fuller minimum .... no idea how they fit Wilsons contract too in this

Let's hope they can get ARob extended before FA starts to reduce that $18M cap hit too ....

Before Massie’s release, the Bears were $6.9 million over the cap, according to Over the Cap. Releasing Massie frees up $5.4 million in cap space, which would bring the Bears to just $1.5 million over the cap ahead of the new league year.

According to spotrac the Bears are 22m over the cap , but Spotrac also shows Massie still on the team...

If you use spotracs numbers and release Massie they are at 16m over

Over the cap has the at 17m over which is closer to reality

this....

A lot of teams with open cap space are going to pick up some bargains and their will be a lot of one year rentals.

I expect at least 3 or 4 guys on the Bears will have their contracts re-worked and/or a couple decent players released...

That is the Bears adjust salary cap, but they are still over by 15.5m
According to OTC their top 51 liabilities (including AR) are $198.7mil, meaning that they are over by about $8mil if you include the rollover.

yes, but you have to add in the dead cap space not just the active contract liabilities.

Spotrac is more accurate on the total number.

Yeah I don’t trust those Pharmacists giving me football news OTC. I trust them giving me boner pills though.
