The score. I got five. It's time for Five On It. Rahimi Harrison-Roney.
Chapter 2: What are the five key topics in the 'Five On It' segment?
Bring you five topics on their minds today. On 104.3 The Score. I got five on it. Number one. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Seattle Seahawks are not expected to tag running back Kenneth Walker III, who is now poised to become an unrestricted free agent when the new league year opens on Wednesday, March 11th at 3 p.m. Chicago time. Here's the question.
Should the Bears be interested in this year's Super Bowl MVP, Kenneth Walker III? I think that any team should always do some research on a Super Bowl MVP whose contract is up. But as far as Kenneth Walker III, I still think that, not to use the phrase, and this is just a colloquialism, but you know what you would say to your parent, I would like my McDonald's.
They're like, we have McDonald's at home. I'm still team, I'm good with the Bears running back room right now. I know that you can save money with DeAndre Swift, but I don't think that you wouldn't be spending money signing a reigning Super Bowl MVP free agent running back. Like we just found out Brees Hall is getting the franchise tag and it's 14 and change. 14 point like roughly $3 million.
That's a big deal. So if he's going to get that, what do you think is going to be the case for Kenneth Walker III? And furthermore, who actually needs him? I think that that's a big part of this, too. You know, the Kansas City Chiefs have been reported as a team that might be interested in his services. So the price goes up.
You know, you're talking about a team that probably still thinks it's in its window or at the end of its window to try to contend for a Super Bowl. The Giants are a team that has been rumored to want Walker services or could be a team that could be connected to him. So...

Chapter 3: Should the Bears pursue Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III?
I don't necessarily think that this is a case where the Bears should... Running back is a low-level priority for me on the Bears. They are doing the things I need them to do. I don't necessarily think that that's where I go to try to mix it up. Listen, Kenneth Walker III's 1,309 yards from scrimmage, impressive.
The durability, the fact that he rushed for 46 first downs, the fact that he averaged 4.6 yards a carry. I just think that your McDonald's money, that's a real thing. Also, I wanted to double check just to make sure I had the number right when it came to the Vikings. So I did some more over the cap deductions or searches.
Truly, the Vikings are, according to over the cap, $46.485 million over the cap. That's a lot of money. Cowboys are 56.6. Jerry's just going to wave a magic wand and figure that one out. Chiefs are 6.6 over, so I don't necessarily know how that works out. They're going to have to cut another offensive lineman, I think. Or get rid of one like they did with Joe Tooney. They're in a bad way.
But that's real bad. That's what happens when you have to pay your quarterback large sums of money. According to OverTheCap.com, the Bears are in the middle of the pack. They're 7.46. They're actually toward the lower half. That's very manageable. Yeah, that's not 46 million. I was like, the Vikings are 46 million. I was like... You know why? What?
Because Caleb Williams isn't making $50-plus million yet, let alone $70 million or whatever quarterbacks are going to make by the time he gets his extension. The Vikings have a rookie quarterback contract right now with J.J., Vikings also have pretty good defense as well. But back to Kenneth Walker III, there's just no reason to do this.
He's going to cost more than you would think $15 million per year on a long-term deal. That's not what you do if you want to maximize your Caleb Williams rookie contract window. DeAndre Swift, Kyle Menungai, could they ask more through the draft? Absolutely. And guess what? It won't cost as much as Kenneth Walker III. Not about Kenneth Walker III...
Being good or not, it's just a matter of where you are and what your priorities are. Number two. FanDuel proposed the following trade scenario on X, asking the question, who says no? The Bears receive pass rusher Max Crosby. Max. Shout out to all my Maxinistas out there. In return, the Raiders receive the Bears 2026 first round pick, number 25 overall.
The 2026 third round pick, number 89 overall. And receiver DJ Moore, would you give this trade the green light or the red light? Okay, so here's where I want some clarification. There's been a lot of commentary about the Bears media, in quotes, wanting to trade DJ Moore, or they can't get him out of the building fast enough. And while I understand why that is a comment...
The only way I'm trading DJ Moore, the only way is if it is for somebody like a Max Crosby, because he would be a talent that the Raiders would want. Would Fernando Mendoza want DJ Moore as his WR1? Probably. Do I still think, though, that DJ is the WR1 of the Bears? Yeah, I do. I still think DJ Moore is your WR1. Until people prove me otherwise, I will love to see the proving process happen.

Chapter 4: What trade scenario involving Max Crosby is proposed for the Bears?
Gets started at 10 a.m. on Thursday. I'll be there. Hanging out with former Whitney Young star and WNBA Chicago Sky player, Lene Harper, on the call for 1A and 3A girls. Got to see some college talent last night. Daniel Porcoso, who is the star for Waubonsie Valley, didn't quite have enough going up against... Stella Sakalas, who's headed to BYU as a commit to BYU.
And you see a lot of talent across the board when you get down to Bloomington and Illinois State. And I'm interested to see who I will be highlighted by. You know, this morning I was on conference calls heading into the show talking to 1A coaches about, you know, the impact that sports has on their schools.
And one of the things that struck me is how one school was talking about how more people are following the girls basketball team everywhere they went this season than the boys basketball team. And high school is kind of where that levels off. You can get just as much support. as a player who plays girls' sports as you do as boys' sports.
Because that's how community-driven, families- and friends-driven it is at that level. And I really enjoy it. I mean, obviously, I talk about pro sports, college sports. I've covered them all. But I really do enjoy the grassroots-level sports when it comes to high school sports. Super sectional is a great weekend, you know, with State on the line.
That's always a really fun week and a really competitive week. And, yeah, we look forward to the full report when you get back from downstate. I know you've got the boys next week, the girls this week. It's going to be a lot of fun to watch. Yeah, last night it was one game. Next Monday we've got a super sectional doubleheader from UIC over on the U. So it'll be fun.
That is five on it here on Rahimi Harrison Grody on this tag deadline day here on the show. And we mentioned we will keep a track, let you know what happens. That deadline is about an hour after we get off the show at two. That's at three o'clock. And there is a report that came across Twitter yesterday. We didn't get to really spend much time on it.
where Jesse Rogers said, well, Craig Council's really letting his team hear it. He was letting them have it. And I'm like, wait, was there more to this? Not only was there more, apparently we found out what was going on. So some hot goss that we track down next. Rahimi Harrison-Grody. Could you imagine Lovie Smith doing the whole good, better, best thing and saying bleep the Packers?
Come on, guys. Good, better, best. Oh, man. I'll see you on Tuesday. Middays 10 to 2 on 104.3 The Score. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. Apparently, there was a bit of gossip to chase down at Cubs camp yesterday. Is that what we're calling it? Gossip? Yeah, because it was Jesse Rogers who was like, hoo boy, Craig Council just lit up his team.
I don't think Jesse would ever say hoo boy. I really did add that. And that's how it starts, okay? One person reads something, then another person says something, then the next thing you know, the whole message is messed up. I very much enjoyed the game telephone when I was in elementary school because it was wild what happened between kid one and kid 20. That's it.
