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. - For note: Those listed that still have time left on their contracts could be released or traded during the offseason, and some could sign extensions. - This list also includes players entering free agency. - Here’s a key: - - UFA – Unrestricted free agent - RFA – Restricted free agent - ERFA – Exclusive Rights Free Agent - RF – Reserve/future contract - Ages are as of Sept. 1, 2022 - - *Cap numbers courtesy of Spotrac
