And I've seen enough of him play to where I still think he has a ton left in the tank.

And a lot of people around the league I talk to do believe that.

But Trey is very firm with his numbers.

And it's going to take the league in general to more or less tell him the number is going to go down.

Because what often happens in free agency, as we were just talking about with Tyrell Linderbaum, is it takes just one team to go, hell, I'll pay it.

You know what I mean?

That's all it takes, and that's what he's waiting for.

The league might collectively need to tell Trey Hendrickson that he's not going to be worth that.

And in free agency, when teams panic, sometimes that doesn't work.

When you look, James, at Kevin Byard and the success he had in kind of a resurgent year last year, past the age of 30, a third time now, he's been first-team All-Pro as a safety.

I like the idea of the Bears pairing him with Kobe Bryant in the defensive backfield.

But at the same time, I'm wondering, because much like Trey Hendrickson, I was surprised he was still on the board here as we go into day two of this.

I feel like the longer he's out there, the more likely it is he comes back to the Bears.

But I would be surprised if he didn't get paid more than the $7.5 million a year the Bears were paying him.

Yeah, he's been a very fascinating player for the course of his career, in all honesty.

I think he's been undervalued in terms of dollars his entire career.

He's never been put in that Derwin James and Kyle Hamilton and top safeties in the league group role.

Really, at any point in his career.

And I don't know why.

Because I think we saw plenty of playmaking ability even at the age he was at this past season.
