After a busy first day of free agency, the Chicago Bears had a quieter Tuesday. The Bears agreed to terms with backup running back Travis Homer on a two-year deal worth a maximum of $4.5 million.
Homer joins four previous signings from Monday, including linebackers Tremaine Edmunds (four years, $71 million) and T.J. Edwards (three years, $19.5 million), as well as offensive guard Nate Davis (three years, $30 million).
Chicago still has the most salary cap space in the NFL after the first two days of negotiations.
According to Spotrac, the Bears still have $45.14 million in cap space with the Edwards, Edmunds, Davis and Walker moves factored in. The total doesn’t include Homer’s contract — as the full details aren’t out yet — but Chicago is still going to be in a favorable position.
Here’s a look at those individual cap hits:
- Tremaine Edmunds: $14.68 million
- Nate Davis: $7 million
- DeMarcus Walker: $6.4 million
- T.J. Edwards: $5 million
Heading into the final hours of the negotiation period Wednesday, general manager Ryan Poles still has plenty of work to do with the roster. There are still needs on the defensive and offensive lines — at three-technique and right tackle — where there are still some top names on the market.
