Now, remember, I always like to point out that when a guy resets the market, he's only reset the market until the next guy resets the market.

Right.

So,

Like, you know, and again, this is just one agent's kind of thought process.

And now they have the fifth year option at their disposal that buys them some time.

If they don't get a deal done this year, they can apply the franchise tag next year.

So there's a lot of tools at their disposal.

But, you know, talking to people, Mark, you know, you're looking at adding like a third or fourth year.

You could be talking...

$100 million, you're looking in that $20-$25 million a year range.

But the way he played last year, I think the Bears would feel good about that.

That'd be their guy, right?

That was the first first-round pick of the Ryan Poles era.

You'd have to be happy to even be having this conversation.

Yeah, it's an interesting conversation too, Leila, because you talk about the cap number.

He's going to be a very relatively cheap player this year if he continues to play under that rookie contract.

Right.

If you give him the franchise tag, that's a huge cap hit for that one year that he has the tag.

The fifth-year option is a big hit for that specific year.

If you can work out a contract now, you can kind of massage those cap hits so they get higher.
