Getting the NFL’s five biggest spenders out of salary-cap hell (including Bears) - ESPN - The Eagles are currently more than $22 million over the salary cap. How can they, and four other teams, save money? Ken’s Note: The Bears ARE NOT IN CAP HELL. I’m REALLY getting sick of hearing this, it is simply not true. Cap hell is cutting great players left and right to eat a ton of dead money. According to OTC, the Bears have $12,804,741 in cap room and only $670,086 of dead money. And yes, the article came out after the Sims cut was announced, ESPN are just too damned lazy to take the trouble to update it.

Hub Arkush: Will salary cap concerns become a problem for the Bears? - Daily Herald - The Bears window to contend for a title appears to be open for the foreseeable future. However the Bears do have a significant "issue" to deal with right now. I don't think you can call it a problem because of all the young talent that is likely to get better, but for the first time in a long time the Bears are very short on salary cap space, and without picks in the first two rounds of this year's draft and the first round next year.
