He was the last of the 2016 draft class. Jackson is expected to be released, he would be the last of the 2017 draft class. 2018 is already gone (Roquan), and 2019 is gone (Monty). Kmet and Johnson (if signed) would be the 2020 class.

Doesn't this drastically bring our overall age of the team down now to  be the youngest team in the League?

Oh yes, plus Scales and Marcedes Lewis are FAs. I assume bring Scales (36) back and with Cairo (32) would be the two oldest I believe. 

This is expected and a good move, but it's nice of the Bears to do it now so both have a chance to get in on free agency as early as possible. Classy move by the Bears.

These guys probably would've been cap casualties last offseason if not for the huge dead caps. Now with those more reasonable, they were no-brainer moves. 

It is nice to move on from them so early, because technically they could've kept them until they needed the money off the books, even into free agency. This would've prevented other teams from even contacting them or their agents about them. 

I like how they did now with both of these guys to do them a solid.
