What is the concept behind the '5 On It' segment?

Rahimi 0:00
Number one.
Mark Grote 0:02
All right. It's five on it. A one oh four three. The score, baby. Our first edition. Here's question number one.

What awards did Tom Brady introduce during the LFG Awards?

Mark Grote 0:07
Over the weekend, Tom Brady rolled out his annual LFG awards on Fox Sports NFL's Instagram page. And I'm just now realizing it's the first annual because this is first. It was the second year, isn't it? No, this was his debut.
Marshall Harris 0:22
No, no, his second year as an announcer.
Mark Grote 0:24
Yeah, okay, so this is the second year of the LFG Awards, the second annual LFG Awards. And so he introduced a new category this year, Best Value Player Award. Here's Tom presenting the award. It's not the LFG Most Valuable Player. It's the LFG Best Value Player.
Marshall Harris 0:42
Oh, interesting. All right. Yeah.
Mark Grote 0:44
Who did the most for their team? You got a guy?
Marshall Harris 0:47
I got a guy. Nashawn Wright, corner, Bears. He had a tremendous season. He was an absolute turnover machine. The Bears, they didn't do a great job between the 20s, okay? The ball was moved a lot. But when it came down to turning the ball over, they were better than every team in the league. And he was a huge reason why. Intercept and passes, strip sacks, fumbles. Fumble recoveries, what he did on a vet minimum contract, something like 1.1. I don't know, all those little details you guys can go research yourself. But what I saw with my eye test, he is the value player of the year. Congratulations. You've earned yourself quite a contract in the future. And shout out to the Sean Wrights agent. You're going to do pretty well too.
Mark Grote 1:30
All right, Tom Brady on Instagram there presenting the Bears' own Nashawn Wright with the Best Value Player of the Year Award. So according to SpotRack, projections suggest Wright could earn a contract worth close to $50 million. On a scale of 1 to 10 on the HeGone meter, how would you rate the likelihood that Nashawn Wright ends up signing with another NFL team this offseason? And I'm going to say eight. I want to make sure that means it's very unlikely that he would be back with the Bears. Is it eight unlikely, right? That's right. Okay, I just want to make sure. Yeah, we are rating the likelihood that he's gone. The likelihood that Nashawn Wright is going to go to another team. So if you say an eight, Grody.
Mark Grote 2:11
He's pretty well gone. That's right. And that's the way I feel about it. The Bears cannot afford to pay another member of their secondary $50 million with Jalen Johnson already being paid for. And not to mention that Tyreek Stevenson is free and that you have two safety positions that you have to think about potentially bringing one of those guys back. Oh, and you paid Kyler Gordon, another cornerback, already. So while... Who didn't love the Nashawn Wright story this year? I think that that's where it stops. It was a great story. You probably maxed him out, too, as a player. You probably got the most out of Nashawn Wright that any other team will have gotten out of him. Has he earned it with another team?
Mark Grote 2:53
Absolutely. I want the best for Nashawn Wright, but I don't think he's going to give the Bears that kind of production every year. Certainly not worth $50 million. So, yeah, I put it at an 8. for nishan wright's chances of returning to the bears or at least as ray put the question going somewhere else i think you're giving a little too much uh margin for return put him at a 10 only reason i didn't go 10 is because he did tell layla that day and has told us in the past he loves chicago he wants to be here but he also probably was saying under his breath i also want to be paid by the bears
Marshall Harris 3:28
Yeah, I think the need for cashing in on your big opportunity outweighs maybe your comfort in the city or even working with a guy like Al Harris, who looks like he's going to be back with the Bears. So I think it's a 10. I think he's gone. It's just a matter of... What are you going to do with that close to $50 million and spending it on other things if you're the Bears? Because he was never getting paid that much. They need a guy to fill his spot that makes like $1.1 million.
Mark Grote 3:57
Do you think another team will pay him $50 million? Do you think other teams will look at him as a top cornerback?
