The Chicago Bears will save over $23 million in salary cap space after converting the 2021 base salaries of edge-rusher Khalil Mack, center Cody Whitehair and safety Eddie Jackson into signing bonuses Saturday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Chicago Tribune's Brad Biggs followed the Schefter report up with these remarks:
Brad BiggsWould imagine the #Bears will be making multiple other moves in the days and weeks to come in an effort to create cap space.
Prior to the moves being announced, the Bears were listed as being $19,276,053 over the 2021 salary cap of $182.
