Brian's talking about how tough some of the decisions are going to be this offseason.

Bringing guys back.

Javon Brisker, how he played, definitely raised his price point in this offseason.

How you want to pay your draft case.

Plus, you also got to be realistic.

How tough is that decision?

It's really tough, and I know I've talked about those tough decisions in the past.

I think what changes is when you win, bonds and relationships get deeper.

And knowing that right now we sit over the cap, we've got to make some decisions if that's cuts, if that's trades.

There's real relationships of people that gave it up for the Chicago Bears to advance our organization, and they may not be able to stay.

And that sucks, to be honest with you.

But it's what makes this league beautiful.

It's why we're all here.

It constantly gets shuffled up and moved around, and it's a challenge of putting together the best puzzle you can with different pieces.

So really difficult, but that's what we signed up for.

You've got to make those tough decisions, and they are business decisions.

You kind of...

try to take your emotions out of it and do what's best for the organization.

I got to have conversations and kind of see what, like I said, the best combination of players we can bring in.

We want him here.
