Chris Emma

Yeah, I think he's being shot more so than the Bears are shopping.

Ryan Pohl said they're getting interest.

He's getting calls from other teams.

And look, teams become vultures when they see a team like the Bears that's over the cap and has until March 11th to make those decisions.

The Bears don't want to cut Tremaine Emmons.

They don't want to cut DeAndre Swift.

They don't want to cut guys like that who are obvious candidates.

And trading DJ Moore solves most of those problems.

And by the way, you're pretty well set a wide receiver without him as much as they love the guy, and they do.

This is not about...

That last play in the playoff game.

They're not mad at DJ Moore.

They love this guy.

But if you get a suitor to take on that contract, you've got to be willing to do it.

If I had a dollar for every time you heard best player available here in Indianapolis this week, I'd be a rich, rich man.

Yeah, that's what you're going to hear plenty.

But look, when you're picking at 25, that's kind of got to be the approach you have to some degree.

Yes, it's a deep draft in defensive linemen and edge rushers and what the Bears desperately need.

but i asked ryan pulls about that spot today and he kind of pointed to the idea of they never they felt really confident they had their defensive line set a year ago and the injuries took control austin booker didn't come out until he was fully healthy from the knee injury and dio denbo who they said is going to be ready for the start of training camp that's their belief and they really believe this d-line is going to come together once they get guys healthy and they want a second shot at that while continuing to add players this offseason but

One of my takeaways is that they are wide open at left tackle, and I think their hope is that somebody falls to them at pick 25 where they can get a franchise left tackle there.
