Episode Details

The Chicago Bears are heading into a critical 2026 offseason — and despite being $5.3 million over the salary cap, they could create nearly $85 million in cap space through restructures and roster decisions.

In today’s episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down:

• How the Bears can save $85M in cap flexibility

• The biggest contracts that could be restructured

• 5 players who may have played their last game in Chicago

• What this means for Ryan Poles’ offseason strategy

• Defensive line upgrades, safety decisions, and roster domino effects

After going 11-6 and winning the NFC North, the Bears are close — but now comes the hard part: sustaining success. Can Poles turn weaknesses into strengths again?

This is where contenders are built. 🐻⬇️
