Chicago Bears make moves to create cap space during 2026 NFL Draft
The Chicago Bears faced a tough salary cap situation this offseason, forcing them to move on from some key players. But even after releasing Tremaine Edmunds and trading DJ Moore, the Bears still needed to create more cap space.
On Thursday, they did just that.
Ahead of picking No. 25 in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Bears restructured two contracts which created some cap space. And the money they have now is enough to sign their 2026 draft class that will be completed by the end of the weekend.
Chicago Bears restructure contracts
As the NFL draft was going on, OverTheCap reported that the Bears made two key moves. They have restructured the contracts of offensive lineman Jonah Jackson and tight end Cole Kmet.
Here is what OverTheCap is reporting:
The Bears converted $13.5 million of Jackson’s salary into a bonus, reducing his cap number by $6.75 million to $12.75 million. His cap number in 2027 now jumps to $23.75 million. Jackson’s final year under contract is 2027 so he will likely be extended next year if he has a good season in 2026.
Kmet had $7.65 million of salary converted to a bonus reducing his cap number by $3.825 million to $7.775 million for the year. His cap number next season is now $15.425 million. 2027 is also Kmet’s final year under contract.
The Bears had just under $1 million going into this draft, the fewest in the NFL in terms of cap space. But now, they have freed up $10.375M. These moves also give them some wiggle room to make a trade if needed as well.
