So we were able to capitalize on some cool situations there through trade and for agency.

I'm not sure how that's all going to line up now.

I know from a cap perspective, we probably don't have enough to make all of that work on the defensive line.

I do think...

On our D-line, I think there were some situations, mostly injury, that didn't allow that to really come together the way it was supposed to.

So I look forward to that happening.

But we're also going to have to continue to bring talent in to create competition so that our defense can take the next step.

Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest.

I think it is a little strange.

I mean, at the end of the day, you should want to develop your staff regardless of the color of their skin.

I think that's important.

I think we take a lot of pride with the Bears on how we have our setup.

And I take a lot of pride in that.

So to be compensated for that's a little strange.

I mean, I saw the Chiefs get a pick because of me, and then I watched that player go and play.

It's just a little odd.

But at the end of the day, if they think that's what's best to help incentivize, then that's what they wanted to do.

Yeah, that's a great question.

I think, um,

I kind of put that whole thing into two buckets.
