BOURBONNAIS, Ill. -- Questions continue to flow into our inbox and Twitter timelines about where the Bears stand in terms of their salary cap.

So we decided to give fans a chance to look at salaries of the team’s draft picks and most significant unrestricted free-agent acquisitions that weren’t on the roster last season, individually. From there, you can get a general idea of how much the team has spent on draft picks and unrestricted free agents to gauge where the club stands.

Here’s a look, based on figures obtained by ESPNChicago.com:
