How much are Bears spending on each position in 2020?

With the conclusion of free agency and the NFL Draft upcoming, the Chicago Bears have roughly $11 million available in salary cap space for 2020.

The Bears have allocated the most money to tight ends and linebackers in the entire NFL. Chicago is paying tight ends more than $22 million and linebackers roughly $45 million in 2020.

On the flip side, Chicago is spending the second least amount of money on running backs, for which they’re allocating just $3.9 million in 2020.

Let’s take a look at how the salary cap breaks down for the Bears in 2020 by position, according to Spotrac.
