Earlier this morning, the Chicago Bears restructured Khalil Mack’s contract, opening up an additional (and much-needed) $11M in salary cap space. And with that additional space comes some legitimate – and surprising – free agent flexibility.
Perhaps even enough flexibility to breath new life into those rumors tying the Bears to star running back and free agent Le’Veon Bell. Here’s the latest.
The #Jets remain the clear favorite for Le'Veon Bell, per league conversations. The #Bears remain in the bidding along with the #Ravens. Both teams have significant interest.

I've heard from multiple NFL sources who tell me they believe the Jets are still the favorites to land Le'Veon Bell. The Bears, 49ers, Eagles and Raiders are other teams I've heard mentioned in connection with the Bell sweepstakes.

Josina Anderson of ESPN reports one of the following teams "has a good likelihood" of signing Le'Veon Bell today: Jets, Colts, Ravens, Packers, Texans, Bills.

#Bears clearly are looking at RBs. That's not a secret. But when it comes to connecting them to free-agent RBs, it's important to know that the same agent represents Jordan Howard, Tevin Coleman and Le'Veon Bell.

Ton of people asking about Le'Veon Bell to the #Bears. Is it possible they have cleared cap space to invest in a wide receiver?
