He'll make it worth your time.
The juice will be worth the squeeze.
But as he's gotten older, that edge starts to diminish a little bit.
And so in Bradbury, I think you have a player who is capable of holding down the center job, and you know what he's good at and what he's not good at.
You're going to be able to get to your outside runs.
And when you have a quarterback like Caleb Williams โ
Depth of the pocket starts to become a little bit less important because Caleb's out the back door anyway.
Caleb's not really a step-up guy.
Caleb's like, hey, I'm going to run 15 yards back this way and still make a throw.
So you a little bit can account for it and cheese it.
You can boot Caleb out and be successful that way.
But the level of investment in Bradbury, to me, indicates, A, that Ryan Poles had a good sense of how heavy the center market was going to be.
Conor McGovern, $13 million.
Tyler Linderbaum at $27 million is insane.
He didn't want to be a part of that, and rightfully so.
So I think, A, he knew which way it was going and he wanted to get a cheap option that could just definitely start for the Bears.
And to me, it's also an indication that the Bears might still be looking at the center spot somewhere in the draft.
It's a really good year for centers round three, round four, right?
Typically, like, you know, it's very rare for like, oh, there's three first round centers.
That's not a real thing that never happens.
