Chris Emma

So for Ryan Pulse to say that, I think there's a couple pieces here that he's establishing.

Number one, they already have...

Not the best amount of cap flexibility to work with, as we mentioned.

And then number two, that contract extension, I wonder if it comes a little bit earlier than we're used to seeing.

Because remember, Caleb Williams was a guy who wanted to do things at this combine differently.

He wanted to structure his contract differently.

Remember how long it took for he and the Bears to come to an actual contractual agreement.

So I wonder if that comes into play here sooner than we may think.

I'm not saying like this year.

But I'm saying perhaps maybe before even the fifth-year option gets discussed.

We're going to listen to Ryan Poles for the rest of this hour, kind of react with us.

If you like, you can join our conversation.

312-644-6767 is our number here at 104.3 The Score.

You can text us and you can call us.

And we're going to listen to this and also what Ben Johnson has to say.

Pause it, discuss, and then reassess and evaluate because Combine News is happening fast and furious here in Indianapolis.

We heard from Brad Biggs earlier on the morning show.

with Mully and Haw, Ruthie Polinski filling in for Mully.

We also heard from other people talking about what they expect the Bears to do.

Chris Emma will join us live from the Combine at 1 o'clock, so you don't want to miss that.
