But we know how much they like him in Chicago.

We know that they got him signed to that extension before we knew that Caleb was going to be fantastic in Ben Johnson's offense.

It was a great safety net in the event that, for whatever reason, things didn't work out with Caleb.

And now, because we know that Caleb is going to be who he is, this is an opportunity for the Bears to get a little bit of something and to give Tyson Bajer a chance to go somewhere and play.

We were talking about it before any of this happened yesterday on PFT Live.

We were kicking around the reality because the Falcons applied the franchise tag to Kyle Pitts.

the tight end that was a rookie when Matt Ryan was still there, and now Matt Ryan's running the show in Atlanta in first order of businesses to tag his former teammate.

And we're talking about all the weapons they have, and it's like, hey, all they need is a quarterback.

And we start connecting dots.

It's like, well, Ian Cunningham came from Chicago.

He knows a thing or two about Tyson Bajan.

Man, that'd be a perfect opportunity.

You can do a lot worse than land an offense with Bajon Robinson, Drake London, Kyle Pitts, and, you know, just all the – and the defense that they have.

Like, you know, so –

Would that really be a shock if the Falcons would try to do a deal for him?

So I think multiple teams should be interested, and he's kind of a guy that's flying under radar.

And yeah, it's great to have him as the insurance for Caleb Williams, but I think he's gotten to the point where he's earned a chance to go show that he can play somewhere.

Well, teams don't like doing conditional picks because it ties up multiple picks until we know whether or not the condition's been met, and then that would be 2027 compensation.

So if you want to do a trade now, teams are going to want something in 2025, and maybe you could do one pick now with another pick on the back end based upon how many games he starts in 2026.

I think more teams should have that kind of creativity when they're coming up with fair trade terms, but I don't believe teams like to have those benefits
