All good points. Only restructure people you want more long term. I don't think  they are making a big signing this off-season,more like a Cameron Jordan or Clowney. So just enough money to resign their own FAs, rookie deals, cap space and a DL on a moderate contract.

I wouldn't touch Jarretts, his contract can be cut after this year with little dead cap.

For now, I'd keep JJ and hope he regains his feet.  Wright was a great FA find, but not sure his coverage was anything special. 62% passes were completed on him.  Like CJ-GJ, he was a liability.

Id restructure Thuney, not Jackson though, they need to have flexibility to cut players if needed to and RG is easier to find. 

plus we already have two guards waiting in the wings in McFadden and Newman.

Cap numbers were released today.  Bears are officially $6.5mil in the hole.

It really sucks that 8 out of the top 9 are not home grown...

That isn't so bad, we should be able to manufacture an easy $50M with regular moves.

Bears are also like 5th in least amount of dead cap.

Watching all the moves this year is going to be really interesting.

The crazy part is that the Bears biggest needs are the strongest in this draft class.  DE, DT, LB, and S are strong.  Even LT has some quality depth.   It will be exciting once fa starts to see how the Bears create cap
