With Mully and Hall. Biggs time. The Biggs Report. With Brad Biggs. Biggs time. Biggs it. His name is Brad Biggs. Brad Biggs talks football with you. Mully and Hall, Chicago Sports Radio 670, The Score. Shout out to everyone watching on CHSN. We appreciate your viewership. You see enough of Mr. David here to... To last you, he's always on. How are you going to finish that sentence? I mean that in a good sense. Oh, it sounded like he did. Yeah, thank you. Well, you know how you start saying stuff and then it comes out. I know, yeah. I wonder where you're going with that. Yeah, it was meant to be positive, but that's him over there again. This time with me. He's dragged me along. We are delighted to welcome in our guy, Brad Biggs.
He joins us on the Plumbers 911 Hotline Plumbing Emergency. Call 1-833-PLUM-911. Call 130-PLUMBERS. They get the job done right the first time. He is the football man of the Chicago Tribune, a longtime contributor to the station and a valued friend. Big Zay! Morning, Brad. Morning, boys. What's going on? 104.3 The Score, Brad. You are in crystal clear FM, so everybody can hear not only your actual voice, but your inner thoughts as well. I don't know if you know they leak out on FM, but that's what we've discovered. Real clarity. And wondering as you look at everything going on right now, where the bears are at, what is your take? to the idea that there are two players named that could be in trouble with the Bears, according to Pro Football Focus, and somehow they've got DJ Moore and DeAndre Swift as those players.
Do you feel that they are guys that could do a haircut, could be contract-ridden with issue, or could be replaced this year? Well, like DJ Moore, they can't cut him because of the contract. They could trade him, but for the many reasons that Bears fans would think that that's a great idea, it's going to be difficult to get a lot for him in return. $24 million cash, I believe, in the contract for this season, and You look at the production where another team's going to look at it and say, well, he's not near 100 catches. He's not this. He's not that. Where's the value for us in flipping even a late-round pick for a contract that's that large? In terms of DeAndre Swift, I don't know. He's 27 years old.
You could create $7.4 million in cap space. if you released him. And that sounds great, right? Okay, 7.4 is a decent chunk for a team that has got constraints, as Ryan Pulse called them. Okay, what's your plan to do with the 7.4? Because at some point you're going to need running back here, right? They had a pretty good combination. Swift coming off a season high. in terms of yardage, rushing touchdowns, and he did that split in time with Mnangai. So I think he's the guy where you look at what he's due in terms of pay this year, about $8 million, and say, you know what, that could be a value guy on the roster. Should be a motivated DeAndre Swift in the final year of his contract as well. Brad, the Bears are in the market for an offensive coordinator.
Declan Doyle took the job with the Ravens. A bit of a surprise, but to call plays for Jesse Minter and to install, I would assume, partly Ben Johnson's offense, maybe partly Sean Payton. But nonetheless, there's an opening at Hallis Hall. How do you expect the Bears to fill it? Do you think it will be internally with somebody like Press Taylor or JT Barrett or Antoine Randall-El, or will they go outside the building? Yeah, I think that's the big question right now. And I think Ben Johnson probably had some loose ideas in mind after the season ended. You know, when you ask him questions, do you think people come for some of your assistance? And he talks about how strong he believes his assistants are and how he thinks his future head coach is on his staff.
You've got to have some Loose ideas probably in the back of your mind. How it's executed here, we'll have to see. Certainly you've got some in-house candidates, and when you lose a guy like that and people see an in-house candidate get the bump, I think that kind of makes everybody involved feel decent.
