The Chicago Bears released former Pro Bowl guard Cody Whitehair to save $9 million in cap space. It seems like an odd move, but when you dig just a bit deeper, it makes a ton of sense.
They had some more news shortly after that makes sense, too, but some fans may not like it.
According to NFL insider Adam Schefter of ESPN, the team has also released firmer Pro Bowler Eddie Jackson, who is somewhat of a fan favorite in Chicago.
Jackson has had stints of being a top-three safety in the league at times during his career. Last season was definitely not one of those seasons. It was a down year, but that's not to say he can contribute to another team.
Releasing him will save the Bears $12.5 million in the 2024 offseason, according to Over the Cap. Now, after releasing Whitehair as well, the Bears will have an extra $21-ish million in cap space to play around with.
