Rahimi & Grote Show · Will the Bears trade a core offensive player this offseason? (Hour 4) · 2 Feb 2026 podcast

Unfortunately, as you age, you get more expensive and you may not fit in that piece of the puzzle that I was talking about.

That's just the nature of the business.

However it works out, it works out.

For me personally, I felt like I did a lot of good things this year in the role that I was in and had a lot of fun playing with this team.

Like I said, after the game against the Rams, it is going to be different next year despite who's here, but I think going forward...

This is an organization that you want to be part of, and I'm sure they're going to have no problem bringing in the guys they want to bring in for agents-wise and selling them on a Super Bowl run this upcoming year.

Yeah, well, we're super happy for Declan and really anybody this time of year that's able to go out and take advantage of the situation they were in the year prior.

And, you know, that's kind of happening with coaching right now and with players that will come up here soon with free agency and teams kind of getting their roster set and somewhat ready to go for the upcoming season.

You know, it is kind of like a puzzle piece and

You know, with us being in a salary cap league, there's pieces of the puzzle that fit well into the next season and pieces of the puzzle that don't.

So, you know, I'm sure Ryan and Ben are going to be all over that this time of year figuring that out and all those things.

Yeah, it's obviously a big loss for us, losing Declan, EB, two great coaches and guys that provide a lot of value to the offensive side of the ball this year.

I know even though Declan doesn't call the plays for us, the amount of work that he did on the offensive side of the football was immense.

You could see that in day-to-day practices, and I'm sure it took a lot off of Ben throughout the week for his duties as a head coach.

Yeah, well, I mean, that must be hard for me to even say just because I'm not there in those meetings once we leave the building.

But, you know, you can tell with things in terms of getting the scout team correct, getting all those cards ready, dialed up, ready to go.

Whether it's scripting the practice, I'm sure Declan had a huge say as to what plays we're going to have up and what looks we were going to get throughout the week of practice.

And then, you know, on Fridays and Saturdays,

When we'd go over our film from Fridays on Saturday morning, you know, Declan's the guy going over that tape with the whole skill group and then kind of leading us in the walkthrough on Saturday before our main mini walkthrough as before we get to the hotel.

So, yeah, Declan was very hands on with all of us.
