The Chicago Bears have made some intriguing moves this offseason through free agency and the NFL draft. While their roster looks mostly set, there’s still some room to make a late addition in free agency. They still have roughly $5.5 million available in salary cap space for 2021.

The Bears have allocated the most money to linebackers, wide receivers in tight ends in the entire NFL. Chicago is paying linebackers $46.57 million (2nd most in NFL). On the flip side, the Bears are spending the third least amount of money on the secondary, for which they’re allocating $20.95 million in 2021.

Let’s take a look at how the salary cap breaks down for the Bears in 2021 by position, according to Spotrac.
