Week 9 · CHI vs TB

What should CHI learn about Garrett Bradbury before the 2026 contract window closes?

Garrett Bradbury · 2026 cap hit $4,700,000 · signed through 2026.

Over The Cap · 2026-09-20. Contract term · 2026-09-20. Current club membership checked against the roster.

Why now: This is the largest joined cap commitment among current roster members whose recorded term ends this season. Early-season usage and availability can inform the next contract decision; an expiring term alone is not a recommendation to replace him.

Watch next: 2026-11-08 · TB at CHI · official availability, playing time and assignments. Separate changes in opportunity from changes in efficiency.

House question based on sourced facts. 23 roster amounts remain unresolved; this is a known subset, not a complete valuation. A cap hit is accounting cost, not a cut saving.
