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.

And so it's all going to be coming fast.

The legal tampering period, March 9th.

March 9th.

And so that's like less than two weeks after the combine ends.

And like I say, in that middle period there, there will be opportunities to pursue trades with other people as you're trying to get yourself set up for free agency.

Which the Bears have obviously been very active in in previous years with big headline grabbing trades over the last few years.

So when Ben says they're going to go back in the bunker, you think they're back in the bunker this week?

You think they're talking about stuff?

They're probably at the Senior Bowl right now.

I don't know who all would be out there from their staff right now.

I saw Ryan Poles watching Zion Young from Missouri today, so he's out there.
