But nonetheless, I still think it's a very important role and somebody Ben Johnson has to trust to really do the dirty work behind the scenes so that he can be prepared to install the game plans and go to whichever place he needs to go to in the game because that's his eyes and ears upstairs.

Let's not forget that.

That's the guy he's trusting upstairs to really see the field from a different angle than he sees down on the sidelines.

I do look, I I've been, I've been covering this league long enough that I know that nine times out of 10, when guys sign places, it's usually because they got paid the most money.

I mean, there are more factors in that, but more times than not the best offer on the table, that's where a player ends up, but that's not every situation.

And I, and Kevin said in that interview himself that, you know, he's at this point in his career, um, that he, I mean, he, he did say it.

He's like, I, that he's essentially take, maybe take a smaller offer from the bears.

Um,

Now, I think it still needs to be a level of respect in whatever that offer is and whatever they agree to without a doubt because you don't want to lowball them too much, and then all of a sudden that can create animosity in these negotiations.

But both sides at this point have voiced enough optimism that they want each other.

And so for Kevin Beyer to come at it from the angle of,

how much it matters to be playing for a team that has the head coach-quarterback combo right.

That matters to him, and he's got the perspective of being in this league and the teams that he's played on, knowing that this is maybe one of the best situations he's been in from that standpoint and having those two positions, the head coach and the quarterback, right.

I believe him when he says that.

And then I followed up and asked him, you know, if he thinks more guys should think about it that way, because really those more times than not, those are the teams that are winning in today's NFL.

So I think he wants to be here.

I think the Bears want him.

I don't think it's 100 percent a slam dunk that it's going to happen.

But I would say more likely I would be shocked at this point.

Pretty surprised, at least if Kevin Byard's not on the Bears next season.
