You know who the prototypical Dennis Allen guy is when he's one who played for Dennis Allen.

But there's also reports that he may stay with the Saints, which makes sense since that's where his career was.

So that is a headline that popped up yesterday.

The landscape is clearing up on a potential Saints return was the quote that from NFL dot com.

But the other part of this is the Bears have like seven dollars of cap space to work with.

And it's partially because, as we've mentioned, all those either backup defensive linemen that they've signed to contracts or.

or it's because of the defensive line they're currently paying.

As I've mentioned, Jervon Dexter is on that rookie contract still, thankfully, financially for the team.

But he's in the last year of that.

So you're looking at a very expensive unit already when it comes to how they put this together.

There's the obvious.

The obvious is we follow the money and, again, notice that their actions have indicated they felt like they made their splash.

But it kind of goes back to...

Even Ryan Pohl saying, we were in discussions for Max Crosby.

So you're telling me there's a chance.

You're telling me you did address your defensive line differently.

I know it's Max Crosby.

He supersedes a lot of needs.

If there's a chance you can get him, you figure it out, no matter how good your defensive line is.

But you did acknowledge that this is something that you think can improve when you decided to put that out there.
