The Chicago Bears are gearing up for an important 2023 offseason, where general manager Ryan Poles will be looking to build up the roster. And it all starts this week with free agency, where Chicago is expected to be active.
The Bears are slated to have roughly $75 million in salary cap space — the most in the NFL — to work with. That should help Poles address needs on the defensive and offensive lines.
