What recent news involving Max Crosby impacts the Bears?
Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody, Rahimi, Harrison, Grody on 104.3 The Score.
This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. And we've talked a lot about players who are not actually on the Bears. Like Max Crosby dominating our day-to-day. I like the acknowledgement of Fat Joe, by the way. Yesterday's price is not today's price. At least not on him. If you missed the big news... Max Crosby still with the Raiders. And in the meantime, the Baltimore Ravens decided to extend their contract offer to Trey Hendrickson. Four years, $112 million, the reported deal after, quote, backing out, end quote, of the Max Crosby trade. So he is off the board. Beep, beep, beep.
How did the Baltimore Ravens' contract offer affect the Max Crosby trade?
It was a backing up of the truck. But that was according to the Raiders. That's how they put it. They issued the statement. They said that. And in the meantime, the Bears got more work done yesterday. So that included getting the services of more to help the defensive line. And I thought that that was a big part of this as well when it came to what the Bears wanted to do. So we found out after our show that the Bears also decided to get more depth on their defensive line. They decided to add, as we've mentioned, to their secondary. And they're in a different place now than they were yesterday.
I don't know that. You know, my position of just being whelmed, not overwhelmed, underwhelmed, has changed at all. But I will say this. I don't dislike any of the moves. It's just maybe hoping for a little more wow factor, a little more shazam. if that makes sense. And Kobe Bryant, good player. You could argue he's an upgrade over Kevin Beyer just because of the age alone and his versatility, which Kevin Beyer does his thing very well at the safety spot, whereas this could be more of a Kyler Gordon type of situation when you talk about Kobe Bryant. Devin Bush, I like that. I like the speed because they said they wanted to get faster.
What defensive line changes did the Bears make recently?
That was a stated goal of Ryan Pohl's, and I think they did that with getting Devin Bush, a guy who led the entire league last year in interception return yardage. The fact that he had two pick sixes also tied for the lead in that category. And when you talk about Gallimore, I don't know. Like, I just don't know.
Neville Gallimore?
Yeah, Neville Gallimore, the defensive tackle. I don't know what to expect. I want to see how he's used. I just know the line is where they need the most help, right? And Contavia Street... I feel like this is a Dennis Allen direct call. There's been several Dennis Allen direct calls. And I'm just more focused on defense than I am offense because that's where more need is right now.
Contavious Street was acquired yesterday. Cam Lewis was acquired yesterday. That was shortly after Nashawn Wright signed a one-year deal with the New York Jets. So Nashawn Wright goes off the board. I think we thought that was going to happen a little bit sooner. So Street, Lewis, and then the Bears also adding... with their receiving core as well. So that made a big difference in Khalif Raymond. And I feel like there's some known commodities here when it comes to the details, guys. That was something that Brad Biggs talked about as well, was that there were going to be players who you knew they were going to add on the second day of the negotiating window, on a day like today, or even after the league year actually begins, that are going to make differences.
Nashawn Wright was one of those guys last year. I feel like Khalif Raymond is a bigger difference maker. He's a known commodity a bit, especially on special teams. But with Olamide Zaccheaus gone, I wonder how much Raymond fits into that. And then additionally, so when you get another defensive back, Cam Lewis, a cornerback, they've still got... Space they need to do when it comes to safety. They've still got three spots they need to fill. So I think that that's a concern as well for this team. But they are in a more set space today than they were this time yesterday. We didn't get news about Cam Lewis. We got news about... Sorry, Khalifa Raymond later.
