60 free agent targets for Bears in wild-card playoffs

The NFL 2024 postseason begins Saturday with Super Wild Card Weekend, which will feature six games that will span three days. And there are a number of pending free agents on those squads who could find new homes this offseason.

The Bears are slated to have around $50.8 million in salary cap space in 2024, per OverTheCap, which is the eighth most in the NFL. It’ll give GM Ryan Poles plenty to work with as he looks to continue to add to the roster (and perhaps re-sign some in-house free agents).

Here are some pending free agents for Bears fans to keep an eye on this wild card weekend:
