Yeah.
We haven't even talked about the left tackle possibility, right?
Do the Bears want to try him out over there this season if you're his representation?
I think right tackle versus left tackle is not what it used to be, but you could have some money conversations there.
So again, I think a lot of these things are in the category of good problems to have.
Like, it is good that their first-round pick from 2023 has played up to the point where we can have these conversations.
And, as you said, they're not in a rush.
But the one thing to think about for them when you talk about cash flow is, you know, after the 2026 season, you start talking about guys that you drafted in 2024, and that includes the quarterback.
Mm-hmm.
So, you know, these are all things that they have to think about.
Obviously, they want to think about what can we do to be competitive this year, but you also have to keep in mind stuff that's going to be floating down the line.
Yeah, so your big ones there are Grady Jarrett, DJ Moore, Montez Sweat.
I talked to one league source who did the math for me.
I was really good at math, guys, in elementary school, like really good, and then just went off a cliff.
I mean, that was what we're talking about.
i mean those times tables those multiplication tables i ran through them pretty quickly um 33 million they could create i mean dj moore's contract alone could create 17 and a half million but remember when you're restructuring a contract which essentially in layman's terms you are turning a salary into a bonus i'm not doing a great job with those layman terms but that allows the cap number to come down for that year they get the cash up front and then but that cap number then grows moving forward
So at some point you have to deal with it.
The New Orleans Saints, you never want to be the Saints because they had a problem where they were restructuring guys left and right and just continued to have a lot of cap challenges.
So those are some of the guys.
Joe Tooney you could do something with as well.
