Hello again, everybody, and welcome into the Take the North podcast along with Dan Weider of The Athletic. I am Mark Grody of 104.3 The Score. We have tons to discuss on this podcast, including the Bears trading DJ Moore and a fifth round pick. to the Buffalo Bills for a second round pick and news just breaking a short while before we are recording this podcast on a Thursday night that it has happened as anticipated. Tremaine Edmonds released by the Chicago Bears after three years with the team. Dan, it's all happening.
It is definitely all happening. And March Madness in the NFL, it's chaos. And it really, you know, there's a lot of people, Grody, that'll ask you over time, the longer you're in the league, it's like, man, that draft weekend must be exhausting. You're like, no, draft weekend is great because it's confined. It's between parameters. The times of the draft are set. NFL March Madness, free agency, cuts, trades, all that stuff. They can happen at any time of any day, and sometimes they happen at all hours of the same day, as we're dealing with here today with the morning trade of DJ Moore, the evening release of Tremaine Edmonds, and now a lot of questions that you and I both have about all of this cleared money that the Bears have to use somehow, some way, and you would bet they've got some sort of a plan, wouldn't you?
Yeah, and it's approximately now with the retirement of Drew Dahlman, the trade of DJ Moore, the release of Tremaine Edmonds, we're looking at about $45 million in cap space. And... We knew that this was the direction the Bears were going to have to go if they were going to make moves and rebuild the defense and now rebuild in some ways the offensive line. There are myriad of different opportunities for the Bears. They are in play for things. that maybe they weren't necessarily in play for, for real, real, real. Anybody you want to throw out there at this point, Max Crosby, Tyler Linderbaum, the lesser of the centers, Tyler Beatish. It's all in play right now. This on the verge of free agency as well.
I will remind people that as of Monday, I believe it was, the Bears only had 53 players on their roster as of the start of the new league year. Now you subtract three more from that, DJ, Drew, Tremaine. That's 50. That means you have 40 roster spots to fill today. before OTAs begin, right? You're going to have a draft class. You're going to add some undrafted free agencies there that may be like 15, 17 players there total.
