So you're talking about them being in on for a minimum of $40 million and
he played for a lot of the reasons that Bears fans look at DJ Moore and say, hey, they got to trade him.
Fans of other teams might look at it and say, that might not be the best move for the team.
And I respect DJ and what he brings to the table.
And I think short of getting a solid offer, the Bears are going to be
happy to have them on the roster this season, but it just means they're going to have to find other avenues to create some of those kept savings that they're going to require.
Yeah, really, I don't think that's likely.
But they're at a spot where
You can't say impossible for most things, but I think they highly value Cole Komet, and they're not evaluating him through the lens of fantasy football statistics, okay, or number one or number two.
Like, Cole's value as a guy who can help you in a pass game, both catching the ball, pass blocking when needed,
his value in the run game was extremely high this past season, third-ranked rushing offense in the league.
And I think the ability he had to handle some of those things in the run game are what allowed Colston Loveland, in part anyway, to steadily kind of gain and become more effective throughout the entire season.
So,
I would certainly be surprised if Cole Komet's not on the roster this year, but you can't say never to about anyone.
I'd say one more thing, Cole.
If I had to rank a list of possible things that could happen with Cole, I think there's a greater possibility at some point, maybe not in the next couple weeks, but at some point,
they consider an extension for him to lower the cap hit, get him under contract for a couple more years than unload him.
Now, the problem or the challenge for the team with the extension would be he's still going to be in the prime of his career when this contract is complete at the end of next season.
So I can't imagine Cole Komet is looking to hand out some discounted years starting in 2028.
But that's a conversation for another day.
