If the bears aside to part ways with Tremaine Edmonds, that was really his first huge free agent splash that they made.
So Nishan Wright, who was the story of the year, they might not be able to resign him.
So these are the things that come with, you know,
cap restraints and having a bit of a better team and owing other guys some money um but the other the flip side of that leila is there's only one player really that you could talk about getting an extension done now and that's darnell wright uh and by restructuring some of these guys contracts you can flip the script uh and create a lot of cap space but that also kicks the can down the road a bit
It's interesting, Mark, because I talked to a couple agents who do not represent right, just kind of floated it to them.
If you were his representation, what are you asking for?
One of them said, I'd reset the market.
He was second-team all-pro.
You look at his age, you look atβ
The accomplishments, you remember he did all that last year, most of it with a brace on his arm.
You could say like, hey, we'll go ahead and get the, you know, we'll top Pene Sewell, which right now is the top right tackle contract.
Now, remember, I always like to point out that when a guy resets the market, he's only reset the market twice.
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, you know, a third or fourth year.
You could be talking, you know, $100 million.
You're looking in that $20 to $25 million a year range.
