The Chicago Bears got an early jump on their 2025 offseason in releasing TE Gerald Everett & DE DeMarcus Lawrence. The moves freed up $10.75M of cap space, giving the Bears over $75M to work with as we approach the new league year.

Elsewhere, the Cincinnati Bengals announced the release of DT Sheldon Rankins, a move that opened up over $9.6M of cap room, while the Carolina Panthers freed up $4.35M by moving on from CB Dane Jackson.

The Chargers made their first big offseason move, locking in CB Elijah Molden to a 3 year, $18.75M extension this week. The deal comes with a reported $13.5M guaranteed, and keeps the former 3rd Round Pick under contract through the 2027 season.
