I feel better after 2025.

You feel better, but you don't feel like... You put yourself in some creative situations defensively spending in 2026.

You can't spend the 10th most money in the NFL on defense and get the fourth worst production.

A lot of takeaways.

John and Glenn Ellen, 312-644-6767 is our number.

You're on Rahimi Harrison-Grody.

I think, John, you make a great point because, like, for example, spending a fourth-round pick on a punter instead of perhaps an offensive lineman who could have been part of the guard-center-guard combination.

You know, could one have been there or the third-round pick on Karan Amagaji who hasn't seen enough time for maybe to fetch a third-round pick?

You know, that's where you save a lot of money.

And instead, the Bears have had to spend a lot, you know, on the lines both defensively and offensively.

Well, and if you look at the Lions, for example, just to also add to that point, the Lions drafted on the Lions.

You know, they drafted Hutchinson.

They drafted Pene Sewell.

And then because of that, they were able to have to spin differently and maybe not get themselves into as much of a cap situation.

Now, they had to extend Aiden Hutchinson.

But I don't know who would think that wasn't the right thing to do.

But the beauty of Ben Johnson is he just had a bigger resume than anybody else who's come into the job, front office, or head coach in a long time.

John Fox was a former head coach.

But Ben Johnson has a resume and a body of work that people trusted and that people had seen him produce.

So he gets more credit because he earned it.
