List of Bears heading into final year of their contracts in 2022
The Chicago Bears roster has undergone an overhaul this offseason under new general manager Ryan Poles, which has featured the departures of key veterans and the addition of young players.
As Poles reworks the roster, most of his signings have been affordable, one-year deals, which leaves Chicago with a slew of players set to hit the free-agent market in 2023 and $95.9 million in available salary cap space. There are also some players that should could ink contract extensions.
Here’s a full list of the Bears players heading into the final year of their contract in 2022 (figures via Over The Cap):
