Yeah, you go to your coaches and you say, how valuable is this player to you?

Is this a guy you need?

Do you think you can find a replacement at a lower price?

Because we've got to do some restructuring.

One thing that I will say is the restructure potential, which is the 2006 cap savings through simple restructures, which is basically turning salary into a bonus.

So what can you do with contracts based on just turning them into a bonus?

And the Bears are very high.

They're the seventh team listed.

$85 million that they can turn into salary cap via just changing that into bonus.

That's without changing years on the contract.

So sometimes you'll hear guys say it's more cash than cap.

So if McCaskey...

George McCaskey is okay with paying more.

Some rosters cost more than other rosters, even though you have to be under the salary cap, because the bonuses don't count towards a cap.

So if George McCaskey is okay with it, they have a lot of money they can turn into bonuses.

And also something I want to say is the combine coming up in less than two weeks, that's when you find everything out.

As a player, as an agent, your agent will go in, they'll have meetings with every team, and they'll go, okay, we like this guy.

We like this guy.

As a player, that's the first time you'll find out when you're a free agent, does your team want you back?

Does this team want you?
