The Bears created a stir Tuesday morning when they freed up a reported $11 million in cap space by shifting a few things around in Khalil Mack’s contract. That must’ve meant Ryan Pace was gearing up for a run at Le’Veon Bell, right?
Maybe it was leftover angst from baseball’s soul-crushingly slow offseason that left Cubs fans praying for Bryce Harper and White Sox fans getting spurned by Manny Machado. But the Bears didn’t create that cap space for a run at Bell, who will sign with the New York Jets when the new league year begins Wednesday afternoon.
