Bears general manager Ryan Poles has continued to retool the roster this offseason with the additions of some big-name additions, including wide receiver DJ Moore, linebackers Tremaine Edmunds and T.J. Edwards, as well as an impressive rookie class.

Moore, Edmunds, safety Eddie Jackson and center Cody Whitehair lead the way with cap hits exceeding $14 million.
