February 28, 201313 yr comment_116766 According to Albert Breer all clubs have officially been informed that the salary cap for 2013 will be at $123M Report
March 1, 201313 yr comment_116771 That makes an extra $3 million or so for the Bears to spend. Report
March 1, 201313 yr comment_116794 Yep 23.9, great news for the Bears. https://twitter.com/mortreport/status/307276900395524096 Report

Since we have a hard salary cap . . . we have more to spend but they have more to spend. Essentially this is great news for EVERY team. Basically it doesn't change anything in terms of our ability to sign free agents. Report

Basically it doesn't change anything in terms of our ability to sign free agents. Sure, but I could care less about other teams. I am just saying that because we were fairly tight and this gives us a little more wiggle room to sign a FA. Next I hope we start to hear news like this: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/cowboys-redo-...dGlvbnM-;_ylv=3 Report
March 1, 201313 yr Author comment_116803 It does mean more for teams like Chicago though that have 8-12m to spend. If you have 8 and need a WR and G depth but now have 11 thanks to the new cap, you could now sign Wallace/Jennings/Welker and a solid G, where before you might get that G but a middle of the road WR. Obviously if you're a team like the Bengals who have 50+ to spend, an extra 3 isn't a huge difference. Report
