[ASFN Admin]

The Chicago Bears are through the first wave of free agency, where they addressed some pressing needs on the roster. While general manager Ryan Poles still has work to do, he made some big moves to shore up the trenches in free agency.

Where things currently stand after the first wave of free agency, the Bears have roughly $16.04 million in cap space in 2025, which is the fifth-lowest in the NFL.

But that comes after the Bears made some splashes during the first week of free agency, including trading for guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson, as well as signing center Drew Dalman, defensive tackle Grady Jarrett and defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo.

Here's a look at the 10 biggest cap hits on the books for the Bears in 2025 following the first wave of free agency, which includes their three new offensive linemen.
