Harris

Edwards' contract.

You know what I mean?

It makes me want to start thinking about those puzzle pieces and also about a veteran or not in the room and such like that.

But you've also got a massive injury now that TJ is coming back.

Which factors into this conversation.

Sure it does.

You're going to go with no vets whatsoever.

You're going to, you know, trust Noah Sewell's got a big time injury.

Yep.

You know, like, do you trust Ahmed Ogbong-Bemiga or any of these people?

Yeah, DeMarco Jackson, you'd have to trust in that circumstance.

That's fascinating.

Yeah, I would have said yes, but now I hear Dan Wieters say stuff, and I think differently.

Just because I had to give a take, like, that's a loose take, because I'm wobbly on that one, but that's just first-plus reaction.

Yeah, that's fascinating.

How about Kevin Bayard?

Unrestricted free agent.

I'm going to say no, he's not back on the 2026 Bears, and it shakes me because I really feel like KB was the heartbeat of leadership in that locker room this year.

I really feel like he obviously played at an all-pro level and was honored accordingly, and he's so important.

But some of the things that Kevin was saying, some of the things that Ryan was saying last week, you're just like, this is the business of the NFL where it's like you may have priced yourself out of our plans, you know, and like Kevin wants to be here.
