I got five on it.

All right, we got one for all the Maxinistas out there. On Monday, ESPN proposed a blockbuster trade between the Bears and the Raiders. In this scenario, Chicago would send receiver DJ Moore and a 2026 first round pick to Las Vegas for pass rusher Max Crosby and a 2027 fifth round pick. Would you be on board with this move?

Leila Rahimi 0:36

Okay, so number one, I would like to say thanks to everybody who watched Chicago Sports Tonight on Sunday. It was Chris Bleck, who's now our co-worker, and it's still weird for us to say. We all freak out on the Odyssey Sports Minutes because we're like, wait a second, Chris Bleck doesn't work with us. Yes, he does.

Mark Grote 0:54

He's at Westwood Y. He was at another place for a long time. Shout out to Chris Bleck.

What blockbuster trade was proposed between the Bears and Raiders?

Leila Rahimi 0:59

Yeah, and everybody's always like, no, I don't listen to you guys. 1,000. We got the numbers. We know. And we stole Chris Black and Adam Abdallah. So go us. And there was a fight about the Max Crosby discussion. And the question was, would it take more than two first round picks? And then people got passionate in the comments as I saw. Because I like to read because sometimes there's something you miss, you know, and people talk about stuff. And that's how you try to fill in the gaps. People have questions that I don't always have. So they were like, Layla was saying three draft picks. No, I wasn't. Not necessarily. It's something along the lines of what Bill Barnwell discussed. There are position players of value to the Raiders.

Leila Rahimi 1:42

DJ Moore could be one of them. Other Bears, you know, when they have a rich, vast wealth at certain positions, like, I don't know, tight end.

What are the implications of trading DJ Moore for Max Crosby?

Leila Rahimi 1:51

I'm just saying there are other positions where the Bears have a plethora of people.

Mark Grote 1:56

Heard.

Leila Rahimi 1:56

And so it might not be just draft picks, might not be just first rounders, might be a combination of assets. That's what I was kind of getting at here. I don't think it's a one for one. This was the Micah Parsons deal. So therefore it would be Max Crosby.

Mark Grote 2:12

Mm hmm.

Leila Rahimi 2:12

So I just want to get that out there. Thanks to everybody who is so passionate about it. But unless I say three draft picks, that's not necessarily what I mean. It sounds like it could work. But at the end of the day, DJ Moore is also making $28.5 million. Now, DJ Moore has years on his contract, and we like to say in the biz, the more years you have, the more you can restructure. But I just don't know if the Raiders want that salary in addition to something else for a return for Crosby. Would it solve a lot of people's problems? Yes. I think Bill Barnwell is saying it for a reason, though. And that's why I give it some credence, because this is not the first time he's brought this up. So who is he talking to?

Mark Grote 2:58

You know I love DJ Moore personally and professionally and all that kind of stuff.

Leila Rahimi 3:04

What?

Mark Grote 3:05

That's right, that's right. But to answer the question, yes, I would be on board with this move for sure. Because it just... When you go back and you compare some of those trades, and I know you referenced them, I'll just go back to even the Khalil Mack trade. Would you say Khalil Mack at that point and Max Crosby at this point? Pretty comparable, right? In terms of being at the peak of their powers and the disruption they could cause. Would you say that's pretty good comp in terms of being at the peak of their powers?

Leila Rahimi 3:37

Yeah, and I think Vegas still probably considers they gave him away for two first-rounders where the team made the playoffs in the first year. You know, that's the other part of this.

Mark Grote 3:46

Yeah, two first-round picks, a third-round pick, and a sixth-round pick, and six years and $141 million eventually for Khalil Mack.

Leila Rahimi 3:54

Micah Parsons.

Mark Grote 3:55

Everything, and it looked good, and it felt good, and we can debate on whether or not it was worth it.

Leila Rahimi 4:01

Come back, Khalil!

Mark Grote 4:02

Come back! Selenia.

Leila Rahimi 4:04

Bye! Come back. He wasn't done. He wasn't done.
