That's not a hard-and-fast figure, with the Bears certainly capable of redoing other contracts if needed. So now let's look at a couple potentially solid football fits who, like the others I highlighted, should fit the Bears' budget. But the Bears likely only view Ingram as the short-term answer, and with their title window open now, that could appeal to both parties. Vaccaro might be forced to settle for a smaller deal because of the loaded S market, but he will affect next year' compensatory formula, unlike the more limited Cyprien. Remember: The Falcons cut him, so he doesn't count toward the 2020 compensatory formula, which I clearly believe should play a huge part in Pace's decision making this week.
