The Bears went on a spending spree to open the free agency negotiation period Monday.
Of the 32 NFL teams, the Bears had the busiest first day of the free agent negotiating period on Monday, and rightfully so, because they had more money to spend than any other team.
Combine that with the $20.1 million salary of receiver D.J. Moore, whom the Bears acquired Friday in the trade involving the No. 1 overall draft pick, and Poles has cut his available salary cap space in half. Poles had an absurd amount of salary cap space entering the week. He was always going to spend money this month. The NFL does have a salary minimum, of sorts: NFL teams must spend 89% of the salary cap over a four-year period. It was not so much a question of if Poles would spend, but how he would spend.
The Bears could be looking at additional help on the defensive line, particularly at defensive tackle. Walker is a nice addition at defensive end, but that doesn't preclude the Bears from signing another pass rusher.
