Growing Buzz Tremaine Edmunds Is Out — And How It Impacts The Bears’ Plans

The Chicago Bears have difficult roster decisions to make before the start of the new league year. Much of that stems from them being $10 million over the salary cap. General manager Ryan Poles will have to clear payroll, and often a quick way to do that is to cut players with hefty contracts. One of the names on that list is Tremaine Edmunds. The linebacker has been a solid player for the Bears since signing in 2023, but he’d count $17.43 million against the cap this year and would save the team $15 million if released.
