Looks like we are going to spend this money on a safety....
"The Bears converted $13 million of Khalil Mack’s base salary
and roster bonus into a signing bonus, creating $11 million in
salary-cap space, according to ESPN.
What it means: The Bears positioned themselves to potentially
make a bigger signing with the added cap space available after
restructuring Mack’s contract, and the move doesn’t affect what
Mack is paid either. After agreeing to deals with nickel
cornerback Buster Skrine and running back Mike Davis on Monday
night, the Bears still have the need for a starting safety, a
potential running back replacement for Jordan Howard, a backup
edge rusher and maybe another target for quarterback Mitch
Trubisky at wide receiver or tight end."

Maybe the Bears need to sign ex-Packer Ha Ha Clinton-Dix.

The Bears are hard after Leveon Bell in case you haven't heard.
That will require a lot of cap.

I had not heard that - that would be amazing.
In that case I'd be more than OK with Devin Bush and a 3rd or
4th round rookie competing for Amos' SS spot.
But how do the Bears outspend the Colts with their $100M cap?

Packers are giving former Bears’ safety Adrian Amos a 4-year,
$37 million deal that includes $14 million in year one and $21
million in first two years of deal, per source.

From Brad Biggs of the Trib:
How quick do you think they will get the safety position figured
out? — @bigern173
Things started fast on Monday with Landon Collins and Tyrann
Mathieu each scoring deals that average $14 million per year.
Then, Lamarcus Joyner got a deal in place from the Raiders. If
the Bears are looking to sign a safety at their price – and
there are plenty of experienced options available – that may
require some time. Understand that you’re not going to get a
player to sign a deal at your price, or real close to your
price, a few hours after the negotiating window opened. I
wouldn’t be worried. Have a little patience and see this thing
through.
The way they rushed the Mack deal you would think they had a
hottie ready to sign.

I read somewhere the 6 teams Bell is deciding between DONT
include the Bears. We shall see.

The Jets have been the most linked to team for a Bell for a bit
now. The other three, Ravens, Texans, and Bills, would be much
less splashy. But that does not mean he wouldn’t bolster they
play, as well. The Texans, in particular, make sense as a team
that could cut Lamar Miller and upgrade the position with those
savings.
If any other team was to get involved, the Chicago Bears could
be that team. Sneakily enough, they created some cap room today
converting Khalil Mack’s base salary.

I heard the bears are still after Bell on the SCORE this
morning....what ever that's worth.
Amos makes me yawn.....didn't do much Jackson made him look
better.
