Clearing a ton of cap space in a few moves can be easy for some teams, but the Bears don't have it that easy in this case.
Here in late-January, with plenty of time to get right, the Chicago Bears are more than $17 million in the red against the salary cap (according to Over The Cap). That number will change when the league locks in the salary cap limit for each team this year, but the Bears have some work to do if they're going to be able to do much of anything in free agency.
