The Chicago Bears' revamp for the 2024 season took a significant step Thursday.
Chicago announced it released safety Eddie Jackson and offensive lineman Cody Whitehair, who were both primary contributors in recent years. The decisions clear the way for potential future moves, as Michael Ginnitti of Spotrac noted the NFC North team created an additional $21.7 million in cap space before the new league year begins.
The Bears thanked both players upon their releases:
