Let's start with today's news.
Your reaction to DJ Moore being traded?
Okay, let's throw out salary and salary cap stuff.
When we talk about the football player, what are the Bears giving up that they hope will grow from the other pieces that are still here?
So you just kind of hinted at it a little, but what did not fit overall?
So much focus on the final play, especially nationally, the interception, but it's more than that when you're thinking about what did not quite fit.
The other bombshell news with the Bears this week was Drew Daltman retiring at 27.
You, as a former NFL player, you dealt with a ton of injuries that short-circuited your career.
If we can go through the human element of it first with you, Ant, how did it hit you when you heard that Drew Daltman was going to walk away?
How did that go, by the way, Ant, not discussing it with your wife?
How'd that go?
We hit on a possible scenario here.
Let's say the Bears decided to vote a lot of their money to center just like they did last year now with the available cap space.
And they go out and they get Tyler Linderbaum, the most expensive center on the market.
What if they did that?
And left tackle was going to be a draft pick.
Somebody from the top 60.
They got three picks.
And they're just going to try to survive that way.
How do you feel about that plan for the offensive line?
