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.

But at the end of the day, like I said, that's not the purpose of why we develop our staff.

But if that's the rule they have in place, then I think it's very clear in the situation on what should happen.

We'll see what they think.

I think in the next few weeks, we'll see if we can get some clarity on that, just in terms of retaining our own.

I want to see how that plays out.

As I said, at the end of the season, we have more constraints now than we ever have before.

We're further back in the draft.

From a cap standpoint, we've got to clear some room there.

So we have to be strategic.

And also, like I've always said, it takes two to make that happen.

So we want to be really smart with the guardrails that we put up.

And if it falls under that, then great.

Yeah, we'll have conversations over the next, you know, probably 10 days here and see if we can make that happen.

I think he's one of the best cap guys in the league.

He gives us a lot of different scenarios for us to operate in, but also showing us the short-term and long-term effect of each one of those decisions.

Because we want to stay in that sweet spot where we have maximum amount of flexibility as we move on, not only from this year, but three years down the road.
