He'd cost you all four of your body limbs at this point because he's the best defensive player in all of football.

So if you're the Bears...

How much are you leaning into this?

And obviously you've got to kick the tires and see if this fits for you.

Have a conversation with Dennis Allen.

What do you think you can do this if this is a priority over other guys?

But are you interested?

And if so, what is your interest level, Russ?

Yeah, definitely interested.

Like this is a guy who is still in the prime of his career, 29, going into the age 30 season.

Also, Montez Sweat, 29, going to his age 30 season.

So you'd have two bookends to your defensive line that are the same age, still young, can still get after the quarterback.

I think when you think about what Montez Sweat has been and was supposed to be for the Chicago Bears.

Now, he had the best year of his career as a Bear, 10 sacks, three forced fumbles.

But I do think there were moments where he's like, man, like.

This at this part of the game where you need your big time pass rusher to come through, he wasn't always able to show up.

I think part of that sometimes is there is nobody else really getting after the quarterback.

And the one guy that has that ability, if you're getting double teamed or getting chipped, that you're not going to have that guy there.

I think adding a guy like a Bradley Chubb, a Trey Hendrickson, a Max Crosby, Miles Garrett, of course, would help.

tremendously to montez sweat as a pass rusher himself but yeah i i would say if if on from scale one to ten my interest in bradley chubb it's probably an eight because i think when you just talk about it's the the fact that you don't have to give up draft compensation as much as i love max crosby as much as i love miles garrett the
