(670 The Score) The Bears have a projected $75 million of salary cap space as the start of free agency looms in a couple weeks.
While most of the attention is on which free agents the Bears can add to fortify their roster and address glaring needs, the team will also have its attention on retaining its own young talent on long-term deals later this offseason. In the minds of Dan Bernstein and Marshall Harris, fourth-year cornerback Kyler Gordon is the most obvious candidate to be extended, as he has established himself as one of Chicago’s best defensive players.
Beyond Gordon, Bernstein and Harris also discussed the circumstances surrounding left tackle Braxton Jones, linebacker T.J. Edwards, safety Jaquan Brisker, safety Elijah Hicks and whether the Bears could pursue extensions with any of them. You can listen to the full segment in the audio player above.
