Bears' 2026 salary cap hits for every player ahead of free agency

[ASFN Admin]

The Chicago Bears are in the middle of an important 2026 offseason, where general manager Ryan Poles will be looking to bolster the roster at positions of need heading into Ben Johnson's second season. And it all starts this week with free agency, where Chicago is expected to be active.

The Bears are slated to have roughly $25 million in salary cap space to work with, as they look to address a laundry list of needs including defensive line, left tackle, safety, linebacker and depth at cornerback and wide receiver.

Before free agency kicks off, here's a look at the salary cap hits for every player currently on the Bears' roster (not including recently-signed D'Marco Jackson) under contract in 2026.
