It's only 1.6% of the estimated Bears salary cap allotment.

So maybe it's enough to entice Ryan Poles, but you know what he also could be doing there?

He's like, hey, he's not going for free, guys.

We invested in Tyson Bajent, and he may be trying to establish value even there in that discussion at the Combine.

Let's face it, it's a good problem.

It's a compliment to the front office.

As you mentioned, Jeff King deserves credit for that.

So does the rest of the Bears front office for being able to put themselves in the position to have that asset.

So very compelling, at least.

And I think probably a story we'll continue to discuss, you know, all offseason until maybe something happens.

Let's resume listening to the Bears press conference with Ryan Poles, brought to you by your local Hyundai dealers.

That's Ryan Poles as we continue to listen to his press conference at the Combine, brought to you by your local Hyundai dealers.

So he was asked about Caleb Williams, I'm pretty sure by Jason Leisure, guys.

And it doesn't sound like Poles is at the point yet where he wants to talk about an extension.

That's my overwhelming impression of this.

I know we're up against a break.

We'll get to a little bit more of the discussion afterward as we continue to listen.

But really quickly, just your initial thoughts on that alone.

I think that's a really good place to pause our conversation.

We are listening and reacting to all of what Ryan Poles had to say.
