Bears Have Cap Issues

Age and salary-cap limitations could force the Chicago Bears into parting ways with names that have become familiar during the previous three-year run of success according to the Chicago Tribune. On offense, that could mean the end of the Chicago road for tackle Fred Miller, guard Ruben Brown, wide receivers Bernard Berrian and Muhsin Muhammad, tight end John Gilmore and possibly quarterback Rex Grossman. Miller will count $5.8 million toward the cap, unless he restructures, and that's too much for a veteran coming off a bad year. Even Miller has talked like a guy who understands his exit is near. Muhammad has sounded willing to rework his deal to stay in town if Berrian bolts, as expected.
