And baseball has kind of an early, quick push right after the season ends with some free agent signings and a couple of trades.

And then there's like, I don't know, a month and a half to two months of awkward, deathly silence.

The NFL is freaking relentless.

Relentless.

Like the Senior Bowl is this week.

We're not as plugged in as we usually are because we actually like our team.

And because your team played later.

Yeah.

which is a nice little treat.

The season went a couple weeks longer.

Yeah, let's touch on it a little bit tomorrow, though, when you and I get to be back here together.

But so the Senior Bowl is happening, and then before you know it, what do we got, the Combine?

The Combine is literally two weeks after the Super Bowl ends.

That's crazy.

So you think about those people that have to go cover the Super Bowl, and it's like, okay, season's over.

Just kidding, the Combine's next week.

those poor bastards um it should be you one day so yeah you got that and then and then how about like some of the decisions for these contract situations there's like there's certain bonus dates which trigger whether a guy will be kept on the roster or not and things like that

There's a lot of important dates coming, and that's usually in early March.

And so you have this bridge between the combine and the opening of the negotiation period for free agency.

And then last year during that bridge was when the Bears made some of their seismic moves with the trades to get the offensive line restabilized.
