A rebuild needs draft choices and cap space.

I realize this may mean they can't trade them but as they are still effective players so that is not a tragedy.
If I am Chicago GM I wouldn't retain more than 10%

But the more you retain the better the picks/prospects are, and in this offseason without retaining you won't have any suitor.
They likely wouldn't spend to the cap in the next two years anyway in a rebuild with cheaper young players.
