The $280M question: How Will the Bears Spend BIG?

Ruthie Polinsky, Alex Shapiro, and Clay Harbor are back on The Charter podcast and with the NFL Combine and free agency on the horizon, we discuss the massive salary cap increase and its implications for the Bears, who are already sitting pretty with top-five cap space. We debate whether this means bigger paydays for individual stars or a broader distribution of wealth across the roster. Plus, we analyze the potential departure of Ian Cunningham to Jacksonville and what that could mean for the Bears in terms of compensatory picks and the overall team dynamic. Then, we lay out our dream scenarios for the Bears' off-season and covering key positions like center. Finally, we dream of a potential blockbuster return of a familiar face... or maybe not?
