"The Bears don't have any more money right now. They're broke. They're out of money. I know people love all this and coming up with concoctions, and imaginations, and scenarios where a team like the Bears can come up with a player like Maxx Crosby. Sorry to be a party pooper. The Bears don't have the type of money to make a move like that right now. They just cannot afford it."
"So there is an uproar after Adam Schefter said the Bears are broke. Relax. After making calls here's the scoop. That was in reference to salary cap situation. They have whatever they need financially if Poles wants to make a move."
Adam Schefter reported that the Chicago Bears lacked the financial capacity to acquire defensive end Maxx Crosby. His statement that the Bears were "broke" and "out of money" initially appeared to reference actual cash reserves. However, clarification revealed Schefter was referring specifically to salary cap limitations rather than available funds. ESPN 1000's David Kaplan confirmed the Bears possess adequate financial resources to execute trades if general manager Poles pursues such moves, provided proper contract restructuring occurs. The Bears' constraints are structural salary cap issues, not absolute financial inability.
