Why do you think I'm sighing?

Because I don't believe that the NFL salary cap is real.

I feel like there's so many ways that a smart capologist, which just about every team has now, can figure out things to do, turn things into a bonus, do an extension.

There's gymnastics.

There's gymnastics.

And because the Bears have a quarterback on a rookie deal, are they really strapped or strapped?

Well, so look like they're stretched would be the word I wanted.

They're not stretched.

Get on back there quite as much as you might have indicated.

But like, look, like they have things that they can do to create room for other things that they might want to prefer to do, if that makes sense.

At the same time, this isn't baseball.

This isn't a situation where you can just go identify, you know, the five biggest free agents on the market and just go sign them all.

Right.

Like, you know, and turn yourself into the Dodgers, you know, like that's not happening in the NFL.

Thanks for bringing that up.

And so you have to have some of the wiggle room that you have to create and you just have to have a clear picture of what you're doing.

The Caleb situation is fascinating for me because, as you mentioned, he's still on a rookie deal and will be for a couple more seasons.

What does it jump to, like 10 mil or something this year?

Yeah, I mean, it's peanuts at this point.

Maybe it's less than that.
