Let's resume.

my mic was off so no if you want to stop it let's just say stop it and i'll stop it right guys everybody's on board we're good stop it makes it sound like it's condescending like the old dick a segment on espn where he'd say stop it okay pause how about that is that work yeah which is something it's like stacy king with the telestrator let's go ahead and pause that right there you're just going to pause that right there there you go that is that is where i got that from because stacy does it all the time so can i get my signature on that poster now okay good

Okay, so that's big to me that Brian Polsetti wants to still go with best player available at 25, and he knows that's not what everybody loves.

I understand why he wanted to use Colston Loveland as the comp here, although I actually think the Bears needed another tight end who is more known to be a pass catcher in his arsenal than what Cole Komet was known for.

So I think that those are two different roles that we're seeing with Colston Loveland and Cole Komet.

If a best player available is another receiver at 25, I'm not real sure how that would work.

I think there was an example of best player available at 39 with Luther Burton.

I don't necessarily know if the best player available, once again, at 25 is a receiver.

That's the real test, right?

If you see that the best player available in the draft is a position you absolutely know they are stocked at, I don't necessarily know if they sincerely subscribe to that concept.

You do have to keep your eye on DJ.

You also know that he is a possibility for a restructure of a contract because he's got so many years to work with.

So, you know, that's part of it, too.

The Bears don't have a ton of long-term deals where they could rework and help get some room under the salary cap.

um old joe tooney jonah jackson 14 million dollar for for potential contract restructure we haven't talked about that much yet so i'm glad you brought that up well because joe tooney was a restructure right it was like an extension and then they worked with the existing years to be able to oh when they brought him in correct initially yes he had he was traded for then he had existing years on his deal then they decided to extend him to help kick that out i think

I'm glad you brought up Tremaine Edmonds as well because I want to get to that.

So Ryan Poles was asked a question about the linebacker situation.

And that is a very injured group right now.

And you consider Noah Sewell out with the Achilles.

TJ Edwards had to be carted off the field.
