Lost in all the excitement about the potential acquisitions the Chicago Bears can make in free agency and the 2022 NFL Draft is the ugly side of the business season. Some of Chicago’s fan favorites could be given their walking papers in an effort to free up salary-cap space for general manager Ryan Poles to swing big on desired free-agent targets. In fact, it isn’t a question of if this happens; instead, it's about who will get cut.
There are a few obvious candidates and logical choices the Bears can set free and save big. The first is running back, who former GM Ryan Pace inexplicably signed to a three-year, $17.25 million deal in September 2020. It was a questionable contract at the time, considering the valuation of running backs and the limited role Cohen played in Chicago’s offense. And, unfortunately, Cohen’s barely suited up since the ink dried on his deal.
Cohen tore his ACL in Week 3 of the 2020 season and hasn’t returned to the field since. His slow recovery already put his future in doubt, and now with a new general manager and coaching staff in place, it feels like a foregone conclusion that he’ll be whacked. The Bears can save nearly $4 million by moving on from him. This is a classic no-brainer.salary is too bloated to keep around, too.
Goldman was the Bears’ third-lowest-graded player on defense last season, according to Pro Football Focus. His 39.8 grade was, in a word, terrible. And it was by far the worst score of his career—not an ideal season for a player that’s entering a critical offseason in his tenure with Chicago. As much as fans may not like it, Goldman’s gotta go.
Math is hard, but this math makes a ton of sense. The Bears can save almost $16 million by cutting Cohen, Foles, and Goldman. And while the loss of Foles and Goldman will create some roster holes that need attention, the savings simply makes too much salary-cap sense.Bryan’s past stops include covering the Chicago Bears as the managing editor for USA Today’s Bears Wire and as a Bears writer for NBC Sports Chicago.
