"Poles has since begun the effort in doing just that. He added safety Coby Bryant and linebacker Devin Bush to help bolster the team's defense, which struggled down the stretch, most notably with speed. He brought in a veteran center in Garrett Bradbury, who, while he isn't spectacular, is quite servicable, having started for the Vikings as well as last year's AFC Champion New England Patriots."
"Right now, according to OverTheCap.com, Chicago has just $355,563 of wiggle room. This comes just one season after Poles had just about the most cap space to work with in the 2025 offseason. The only team in a tougher spot is the Dolphins, who are currently more than $8.587 million over the cap."
The Chicago Bears made significant roster adjustments following their NFC Divisional Round loss to the Rams. General Manager Ryan Poles added defensive help through safety Coby Bryant and linebacker Devin Bush to address speed issues, brought in center Garrett Bradbury for offensive line stability, and created cap space by trading DJ Moore and cutting Tremaine Edmunds, freeing approximately $30 million. These moves left the Bears with only $355,563 in remaining cap space, second-worst in the NFL behind Miami. Despite fan concerns about limited financial flexibility, the Bears maintain sufficient resources to continue building their roster through the offseason.
