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.

You're not that far off from having to make the decision on how much do you want to pay him in an extension.

Earlier today, as we did transition, we were talking about him being here for the next 10 years in some capacity, right?

It is 10.7 mil, by the way.

10.7 for this year.

you start doing those long-term extensions it forces your front office to think about okay now what do we do with these other contracts to start to make room for the idea that we're going to have a guy at quarterback that we've got to pay a boatload of money to to keep here right

So let's talk about some of these specifics.

There's part of me that wants to keep all these conversations going until we do Ben's vision, which you so lovingly promoted earlier today.

But the truth is, because of the dates we just talked about and everything that we can go ahead and have some of these specific conversations.

And Alex Kuhn is going to throw a player at us with their respective situation.

Go ahead, Alex.

Yeah, so I just want your first blush answer here, staying or going.
