  "summary": "The Chicago Bears have 22 players scheduled to become free agents in 2027, according to Over The Cap. The team is currently $23.63 million over the salary cap for the 2027 season, and general manager Ryan Poles will need to free up cap space through cuts, trades, or restructures. Key players like wide receiver Kalif Raymond, cornerback Tyrique Stevenson, and left tackle Theo Benedet could be on the market next offseason. Quarterback Caleb Williams, who has established himself as the franchise quarterback, is most likely to earn a contract extension.",
