Predicting who makes the Bears' 53-man roster

The Bears seem more likely to add around the edges of their roster than to make a splash before Tuesday’s 3 p.m. deadline to whittle their roster down to 53 players.

The Khalil Mack trade proved to those inside Halas Hall to never say never when it comes to a big trade. But the availability of two edge rushers — the Cowboys’ Micah Parsons and the Bengals’ Trey Hendrickson have asked for trades — would require the Bears to pay heavily in terms of draft picks and reworked salaries. Only four teams have less salary cap space than the Bears do this season.
