You're going to have to have serious conversations.

You're still a team that has holes, right?

You can't necessarily afford to lose some of that draft capital that you have in 2026.

Doesn't say I wouldn't do it, but you have to have more serious conversations about it.

That is the voice of Russell Dorsey.

He is the Yahoo Sports National Insider for Yahoo and for Major League Baseball.

I got to say, Russ, when you look at this team and understand where all the money is...

on the defensive side of the ball and how much has already been invested.

You talked about Montez Sweat.

We kind of leave out Dayo Odingbo because he was out for the season and we don't know if he'll be ready for the start of next season.

But there's a lot of money there as well.

And you start looking around, Grady Jarrett, at guys that they have already gone and paid in the free agent market.

I wonder if they have...

The ability to go and get a Chubb when, again, it's not like the Bears are operating in a vacuum here.

Lots of teams need an established, young, not quite over the hill pass rusher.

And Chubb certainly fits the bill.

And they have some salary cap gymnastics that they're going to have to do.

And you can do that in the NFL where you can create, you know,

cap space, etc., giving guys bonuses, things like that, restructurings.

But yeah, you're going to have some things that you're going to have to do.
