My overall, what I'm feeling on the overall, though, is you kind of need that guy still.

You need a Cole Komet on your team because of what he does as far as blocking.

Lord knows he made some massive catches this season for the Bears.

Again, a veteran player.

who has been paid.

We know what he is worth to a locker room.

We know that there's heavy, heavy duty value in that as it pertains to Cole Komet.

But I will keep it more on the field in terms of what he is doing for the offense, blocking and making plays.

And we know how important that is for Ben Johnson's offense.

So if I got to hit the yes, no button right now, I am a no.

I'm a no on letting go Cole Komet.

It's interesting because if you go back to the end of the season, after the loss of the Rams, Cole Komet was one of the biggest voices in that locker room talking about how this season was good.

We are starting from scratch, echoing the sentiment of his head coach, Ben Johnson.

And I think that's why he becomes more valuable than if you look at a spreadsheet and just say he had this many catches for this many yards.

Knowing how much...

Ben Johnson likes to use 13 personnel and the importance of not just having a second tight end, but a good second tight end.

I would like to think they could figure something out with Cole Komet's contract.

I understand if they do move him.

It's tempting.

That's why I said my first thought is it's tempting, but no.
