🚨The Chicago Bears Just Got GREAT NEWS From The NFL
The NFL just provided great news for the Chicago Bears as they announced another huge salary cap increase for the 2026 NFL Season. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero broke the news that the 2026 NFL Salary Cap number will end up between $301.2 million to $305.7 million per team. That’s great news for Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson as the Bears could look to be big spenders on the NFL trade market and/or in 2026 NFL Free Agency. Could the Bears make a blockbuster trade for Maxx Crosby, Myles Garrett or someone else? Will Chicago sign Trey Hendrickson? With the salary cap increase and roster flexibility, the Bears have plenty of avenues they could take this NFL Offseason.

How aggressive would you get this offseason? Scale of 1-10
According ton The IRS the NFL is a charitable organization or nonprofit, probably the biggest joke of a classification in the world. If I was a politician, it would probably be the first thing I would address the NF. L is a business, and everybody knows it……
This is how you lose a subscriber…cut the 💩😡😡😡😡
The Bears really need a new hot dog vendor in section E, the oil just hasn't been the same since COVID. Wouldn't mind seeing a new trashcan down there next to the field stairs between sections Star and Z, could be a game-changer. I think that the stadium is ok, just need to address a few situations here and there. With the 25th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select Kosher Kohen, true Chicago-style dog vendor, Deerfield, IL. 📋📋📋📋📋
So my thoughts is this it's alot of talking about getting help on the DL but people only talking about at DE but our weakest is at DT at the middle of the DL we wasn't doing anything at the middle if we do get a big names at the DE but gonna have the same problem at the middle let that marinate LET'S MF GO BEAR'S BTA FGB 🐻 DOWN
Imagine if NFL didn't have no salary cap shedeur Sanders would be making like $100 million because of his dad.
If the Bears are moving on From DJ Moore they should look at trading him to the Steelers for guys like Queen Highsmith or since Jalen Ramsey can play Safety he would be a good fit.
Harrison Mr Clickbait. This show is SO bad. It’s 90% bullshit so Harrison can make money. This will never last.
I thought this would be about the NFL doing the right thing and giving our team the draft picks it fckn deserves from the Falcons hiring Cunningham. The Bears organization should sue the NFL and or the Falcons, for not handing over the picks by skating out by creating a GM position but technically NOT GM position is total fckn Bullshit. This sets a precedent for other teams doing it.
What a waste of time
Been following channel for a few months. Lots of this behavior. Click thirsty.
Cuz ya gotta pay 55 mil + for a decent QB! So, so fucked up!
I mean we all thought it was comp pick related. But I won’t lie, he isn’t wrong. This is very important to help with flexibility. 2 3rds would help, but more money for a team that has to be near the top of desirability for FAs is a big deal. This could be the pathway to Trey.
I still can't believe the Chicago Bears are over the cap even with the salary cap bump.
Darnell Wright seems to be a pretty solid safe bet just as any of these guys might seem at the moment, the problem in the x factor is, you never know what kind of injury, especially a catastrophic injury like a ruptured Achilles or something along those lines can totally derail a career. Say you hate to really extend people out more than 3 or 4 years of come.nThere's always some risk with any contract.
Thought it was comp pick news🫤
Ounce every 20 to 21 years for the superbowl. So we're due this year or next.
Was the unexpected surprise that we were NOT gonna be awarded our deserved compensatory picks!!! NFL DOUCHEBAGS!!
L clickbait
How the fuck can you yell clickbait? The man is simply letting us know we'll have more $ to help build a stronger core! Chill the hell out!
Dude this clickbait stuff is annoying. You like having listeners click and stop listening 10 seconds in?
Get Crosby!
Had me
Gambling. Who says that betting on sports isn't a good thing?
Athletes and actors are the most overpaid people on the planet. Conversely, nurses and teachers are the most underpaid people on the planet. This is a clear indictment of American society. We value entertainment far more than education or healthcare. These uneducated physical specimens, athletes, and the modern day court jesters, actors, are paid obscene amounts of money to keep us from being bored while nurses and teachers have to strike to get a pittance of a raise! How f*cked up are we? This country has its priorities all jumbled up which is just one of the indicators of an empire in decline. The same thing happened to Rome when that empire fell after 1,000 years. They forgot what made Rome the shining light of civilization…….America has done the same.
You clickbaiting goon. It’s not good news for anyone except the players and their agents. It just means more streaming bs, games in Brazil, and soon pay per view.
Clickbait bullshit. You just lost a subscriber.
Clickbait got my hopes up, thumbs down on this vid Harrison.
I would sign Trey Hendrickson, and go aggressive for DTs in the draft. Would love to see McDonald and Hunter added to the interior defense. That pass rush would be unreal.
