Like, that guy, if he's a quality left tackle, he's going to get paid.

So I think the bridge option here, really, the one that makes the most sense, and they'll have to get together and talk, the two sides, is

Braxton Jones, and that's something I've talked about since Mobile a month ago in the Senior Bowl, is this could be a win-win situation for both parties.

Braxton Jones did not put together the kind of contract year that he would have hoped for coming off the injury that he suffered in 2024.

So he's sort of damaged goods right now because he was never healthy this past season.

So he could use a one-year kind of

situation to go out and play, correct his market, enhance his positioning, and the Bears could use a one-year guy to fill that gap for him.

The question is, what do the coaches feel about him?

I don't know the answer to that.

Dan Rochard never saw him healthy.

I'm talking fully, 100% healthy.

Ben Jansen never saw him at his best.

They can look at the tape.

They can hear testimonials from

Ryan Poles and Jeff King and others, but they never saw it.

So that'll be interesting to see because I think a guy like that, you're probably looking at ballparking it $5 million per season maybe, which would make a lot of sense in my mind.

Yeah, and I think they kind of dropped some breadcrumbs at the end of the season in that regard, and people just kind of, you're going to wait and see, right?

Do they want to go for a bigger move or not?

Because Ben Jensen, they had tremendous success in year one.

He's got a quarterback going into year three.
