10 biggest salary cap hits for Bears in 2022 after Khalil Mack trade

The Chicago Bears made a massive move in trading star pass rusher Khalil Mack to the Los Angeles Chargers for a 2022 second-round pick and 2023 sixth-round selection.

It also allows for more salary cap flexibility, especially in 2023, as Chicago will have an additional $28.5 million in cap space bringing their current 2023 cap space to $121 million.

Where things currently stand after the Mack trade, the Bears are expected to have roughly $30 million in camp space in 2022, which is the seventh most in the NFL. But there are still some moves on the way from new general manager Ryan Poles.

There are still other players with some pretty substantial cap hits heading into 2022, some of whom could be potential cap casualties or on the trade block.

Here’s a look at the 10 biggest cap hits on the books for the Bears in 2022, after the Mack trade.
