"Chicago's football team is $17,396,354 * OVER* the projected 2025 salary cap, per OverTheCap's calculations. There are several teams with less desirable salary-cap situations than the Bears' at the moment. One of those teams (Vikings, $48,943,588 million over the cap) is in the NFC North. It is also worth noting that the Green Bay Packers ($10,689,599) and Detroit Lions ($16,715,969) are also over the cap. Clearly, the NFC North has some work to do to get under the cap."
"Edmunds is due to make $17.4375 million this season, but none of that guaranteed. A pre-June 1 cut designation for the veteran linebacker would clear $15 million in cap space, with only $2.4375 million in dead money. Edmunds turns 28 in May and recorded an eighth straight season with 100-plus tackles. But Chicago needs cap relief, and parting ways with Edmunds can help the Bears clear $15 million in a single transaction."
Chicago's football team is $17,396,354 over the projected 2025 salary cap. Multiple NFC North teams are also over the cap, with the Vikings roughly $48.94 million over and the Packers and Lions over by $10.69 million and $16.72 million respectively. Tremaine Edmunds is due $17.4375 million this season with no guaranteed money; a pre-June 1 cut would clear about $15 million while incurring $2.4375 million in dead money. Edmunds recorded an eighth straight season with 100-plus tackles and turns 28 in May. D'Andre Swift posted 10 touchdowns and 1,386 scrimmage yards in 2025 and is mentioned only as an exploratory cut candidate.
