Why NFL Execs Don’t Expect the Chicago Bears to Go All-In This Offseason
NFL executives aren’t expecting a splashy offseason from the Chicago Bears — and that’s not a bad thing.
As the salary cap rises, smart teams are changing what “all-in” really means.
Despite a rising salary cap, recent Super Bowl teams have shown that smart roster building isn’t about maxing out the cap, but about picking the right spots to strike. In this episode of The Windy City Breeze, we break down why NFL decision-makers don’t expect the Chicago Bears to make splashy, headline-grabbing moves — and why that may actually be the smartest path forward.
We discuss:
Why this year’s free-agent class lacks true star power
How rising cap flexibility has changed team-building strategies
Why overpaying in free agency often hurts more than it helps
How the Bears’ approach aligns with what top NFL executives expect
With a young core and a developing championship window, the Bears aren’t avoiding aggression — they’re choosing timing over panic.
