Which veteran defensive ends are still available for the Bears?
Thanks, everybody. The Bears.
Here's a list of the players we'll be inviting to camp.
I never heard of half of these guys, and the ones I do know are way past the prime. Most of these guys never had a prime. This guy here is dead.
Cross him off, then.
All right, so the Bears didn't do anything in free agency. Nothing at all. When it came to defensive end, well, I shouldn't say anything.
They made a couple moves, and they've got guys coming back to their roster.
Did they? Who's on the edge? What free agent moves did they make on the edge? Well... Did I miss any?
What did Ben Johnson say about improving the Bears' pass rush?
Well, they're kind of getting free agents in Dio Dangbo. Right, that's the stretch. That's the stretch. And I don't know what... Thank you. But, I mean, am I... I guess... Forgive me. Tell me about Jeremiah Martin. Is Jeremiah Martin? What about Contavious Street? Okay, but Contavious Street is a defensive tackle, isn't he? Sure. They might move him outside. How about Neville Gallimore? Well, they might move him outside. This is what I'm saying. How about James Lynch?
How do the Bears' free agency moves impact their defensive line?
So I can't say that they didn't do anything. I feel bad for these guys. I'm refusing to learn more about them. I'm just refusing to do it.
Yeah, because you feel like you won't be seeing them after August.
But we might, though. They're going to be battling for playing time. The only thing I've learned about Contavious Street is that it's between Pulaski and Cicero. That's all I've learned. Tanny, between Kedvale and Kenmore? Is that what we decided? No, Kenmore is way east. Oh, yeah, my bad. Kedvale and Keeler. Keeler.
What are the prospects of Jeremiah Martin and Contavious Street?
I'm going to drive to Contavious Street. Man, do I love that track. It's a great song.
And that song brought about the song Tennessee.
Oh, of course it did. Oh, of course it did. Now I hear that. Well, they sampled Prince. Tennessee. Driver! And then they had to pay Prince.
But Prince was like, I really love this song.
So you guys, I could take all of the publishing from this song if I wanted to. And he's like, give me $100,000 and go make your money. Well, that's beautiful.
How does the Bears' draft class affect their defensive strategy?
It is beautiful.
I didn't know that story. Yep. I'm thrilled to know that story. Yep. All right, good. Well, that was more fun than looking at... And who's singing? That's Dion Farris right there as part of Arrested Development. I love Dion Farris. Is it Arrested Development? That's a television show. Is that also the band? Yeah. It's everything. All right, I'm just... We're all cragged out.
What are the expectations for the Bears' coaching staff this season?
We are. We are cragged out. All right, so let's get to the football, because it is football season. Yeah, I've outsourced the list to Alex Kuhn. That's how I roll. Defensive ends who are free agents that the Bears could consider to bring in since they didn't really get none in the draft.
I read this before the game today, right? This list.
Alex, who do we got? Anybody of consequence right now? Is Davion Clowney on the list? He sure is. Yeah! So why don't we start with him? He's always on the list.
How do injuries affect the Bears' defensive lineup?
How old is Jadeveon now? 31, 32 maybe? That can't be possible.
It feels like just yesterday he was knocking that guy's helmet off from Michigan.
Yeah, Jadeveon Clowney. 33 years old. 33 years old. Sure.
There are no wrong answers for the Bears at defensive end as far as I'm concerned.
It only has to do with how much money do you have, and they don't have a lot, according to Adam Schefter, and how much these guys are willing to take. All right. How about Joey Bosa? Joey Bosa, former Buffalo Bill, 30.8 years of age, still out there. The point is, there's a lot of... How old? 38.
What are the implications of the Bears' roster decisions moving forward?
30.8. I thought you said 30. I was like, oh, God, no. No, 30.8 years of old is Joey Bosa. Look, Cam Jordan, as we know, is out there. Former Dennis Allen guy. Might not want to be a Dennis Allen guy. Isn't he 15 years into the league? 36.8 years old for Cam Jordan. I like giving the point, the exponent.
You good with that?
I like that commercial that he does with his mom. I think that's adorable. I totally agree. Totally agree. The point is, these dudes are out there. Jadeveon Clowney at age 33. 33.2 for those who are checking at home. Leonard Floyd. Is it time for the Leonard Floyd homecoming?
