10 biggest cap hits for the Bears heading into 2023 offseason

The Chicago Bears wrapped the 2022 season with a 3-14 record, which culminated in a 10-game losing streak. But they also landed the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft.

Bears general manager Ryan Poles will have north of $100 million in salary cap space, which should make for an exciting free agency. There will be another roster overhaul this offseason, although there are a number of key contributors that will be back in 2023.
