In case there are still any of you out there trying to figure out the Bears cap situation, the teams slotted rookie pools have been released .
| Team | Picks | Pool |
| KC | 12 | $8,221,790 |
| ATL | 11 | $7,918,670 |
| MIA | 9 | $6,538,400 |
| STL | 8 | $5,997,510 |
| CHI | 12 | $5,791,190 |
I did not know that the rookie pool were adjustable, I had always assumed everybody got the same amount. If you so chose to move up and take 3 first rounders it is up to you to fit them with the money you have.
As it is how much of a pool each team gets is based on how many picks and which rounds those picks came in. The Bears landed at the 5th highest alloted number due to the amount of picks they had.
