## Resource

We head into the Labor Day weekend with some contractual news regarding the Chicago Bears salary cap. ESPN’s Field Yates reports that the Bears restructured the contracts of Dayo Odeyingbo, Joe Thuney and T.J. Edwards to free up ~$17M in cap space. Is this a normal procedural move or does it signify that a move could be coming? Later, we take a deep dive into the Chicago Bears opponents this season. Can Ben Johnson’s group overcome a tough schedule to make their way back into the playoffs? We end the show we a special announcement about what our Friday shows will be looking like this season with 2 special guests joining. Adam Hoge hosts the CHGO Bears Podcast!
