I would consider them the runner-up on Max Crosby.

But what John Spitek did is he essentially just listened.

He didn't set a price.

And teams were in and they were trying to put their prices out there.

Leland, essentially what ended up happening was when it came closer to the deal getting done and everybody realized that it was going to take two ones, that's when teams started dropping off like kids in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

They were just toast.

They were off.

So essentially it ended up being like Dallas really wanted to but couldn't essentially get there.

And two ones are there for Max Crosby for the Ravens and they do a rare move.

for a team that's right there, ready to try to get over the hump.

And oftentimes that happens with pass rushers.

I don't know if, you know, Ryan Poles ever wanted to give up that amount of capital.

I don't think so.

And then with Tyra Linderbaum, I mean, I was thought, I thought it was bonkers to say he's going to get 25.

And then yesterday morning I kept hearing around the league, like, no, no, this is going to get closer to 25.

Like the, the, the market is 18 with Creed Humphrey in Kansas city.

And then he gets 27 and it's like, Oh my God,

Gosh.

So I don't think that was either, you know, in the realm either for Chicago.

So I do think you have to be measured in a sense in terms of value.
