Bears Massive Cap Situation Shows They Could be Top Contenders for Lamar Jackson

There has been an enormous amount of drama in the league this off-season. Quarterbacks have declared their allegiance to different teams, one of them after playing with them for 18 years. Furthermore, there has also been the whole Lamar Jackson drama. The narrative has remained the same throughout the ordeal. The quarterback has been requesting a guaranteed contract from the Baltimore Ravens that matches up to other quarterbacks in the league. However, the Ravens have constantly been rejecting Jackson. After such a long stalemate, it might be time for Jackson to consider the option of moving away.

While there might not be a lot of teams who can afford to bring in Jackson, there are a few that have considerable cap space to make a move. It makes one wonder how these teams could change their trajectory completely.

Which all teams have the cap space for Lamar Jackson?

While the big hitters of the league have very little leeway left in their cap space, there are teams who can afford and match up Jackson’s price. One of the biggest contenders for this is the Chicago Bears. The Bears have an unbridled cap space of a whopping $41.4 million. In this space, they could easily bring in Jackson and begin increasing their chances to place better in the upcoming season.

Interestingly, the team next in line remains to be the Houston Texans, with almost $26 million in their cap space. And these teams desperately need the talent of someone as threatening as Jackson to make a better run this season.
