This is what I'm doing.

Are people participating in the same way?

Max Crosby asked that question.

Perhaps you want to be at an organization where you can win.

But I think lesser than the concept of whether or not there was buyer's remorse on the side of Baltimore...

I think there was a market that Max Crosby set.

And once that domino fell, everybody else made moves.

And I do think that Baltimore told you the priority was after they addressed hiring Declan Doyle, after they addressed hiring a new head coach, after they decided to adjust their offense to better suit Lamar Jackson, make the changes they did.

that they were going to get a pass rusher a bona fide top name in the league pass rusher and that's exactly what they set out to do their plan b was still incredible in trey hendrickson and it cost them nothing pick wise that's what you get to do when you've made the flexibility when you've got the money and then you decided that this was the priority you were going to set we want one of those guys we're going to get one of those guys they still did

So I think that that's the most important thing here is there was a market that supplied enough of these elite pass rushers to still make that a possibility for them.

Well, he's got the extension, so it is what it is.

But you're right.

We would be eviscerating the Bears if they were in this position.

Oh, and Poles would get run out of town for it.

Let's not forget the Larry Ogunjobi example.

Well, and I think the other part of this that's really important is that the Bears made their big swings last offseason.

I've maintained that.

And the reason I feel that way is because we saw the contracts that went to them.

And for everybody who says, well, the salary cap isn't real, I think that might be true for some teams.

I don't think it's true for all of them.
