This is Rahimi Harrison-Groney on 104.3 The Score. We go to our hotline. That is where we find NFL insider, reporter, and a little bit of a Bears newsbreaker today as well, Jordan Schultz, host of The Schultz Report and co-host of Why Is Draymond Green Talking About Football? You can catch him on Schultz underscore report on X. Jordan, thanks for joining us. You had a lot of posts this morning about the Bears. What's the latest?

What trade interests are being discussed for DJ Moore?

Jordan Schultz 0:28
Yeah, the Bears are in a really interesting position right now because they're kind of off this, you know, kind of magical playoff run. The roster's in pretty good shape. You have the quarterback. You have the coach. There's so much good stuff. But you also have a lot of decisions to make. I reported earlier today about Javon Dexter, you know, who comes off his third season, extension eligible, former second-round pick. And, you know, it's not a good defensive tackle draft, and it's not a particularly good defensive tackle free agency market. So someone like Dexter who's eligible – becomes very attractive to several teams who need a defensive tackle. And then I mentioned Bajent and D.J. Moore as well.
Jordan Schultz 1:06
The Bears are getting an influx of calls on Tyson Bajent. My understanding is they really like him. They don't want to move him. But you never say never when it comes to a quarterback, and you never know how desperate a team will get when it comes to an offer. So a lot to monitor with Chicago next couple weeks.
Marshall Harris 1:24
Jordan, you mentioned Tyson Bajan. I'm just curious because it is such a quarterback deficient rookie class coming in after Fernando Mendoza. What kind of pick do you think the Bears would pull the trigger on to get him, and is that something that could actually happen?
Jordan Schultz 1:41
I'd certainly be surprised if it happened because I know they really value him. They obviously extended him a year ago.

What are the implications of the Bears' playoff run on their roster?

Jordan Schultz 1:47
He's young, and he's very well-liked in the building. I don't know the answer exactly what would it take But I would say they would have to be completely blown away to even consider it. And so far, even though there's been a lot of calls, they haven't had that.
Leila Rahimi 2:03
Jordan, what has been the most surprising piece of news you think you've broken so far, or at least are chasing down at the combine?
Jordan Schultz 2:12
You know, there's so much noise, and it can be difficult to navigate it because right now everyone's market, I always say, is 25%, 30% better than it actually is. If you ask people, okay, what's the number on – if you ask an agent what's the number on this guy, if he's worth 12, maybe the agent will say 17. You hear a lot of that because then you navigate around and you realize maybe that player is not quite out of the market. So there's a lot of that in navigating right now. Free agency really dominates the combine despite it really being a draft-featured event. I'd say one of the more interesting things I've heard – It's just the amount of buzz around Ty Simpson, the Alabama quarterback. A lot of love for him.

What makes Gervon Dexter an attractive trade option?

Jordan Schultz 2:56
And then the receivers. I think between Jalen Tyson from Arizona State, Cardinal Tate. Carnell Tate from Ohio State, Denzel Boston from Washington, Makai Lemon from USC. It's a really interesting wide receiver class with an influx of different style of players. Last year, obviously, a couple years ago, we had the Harrison, Neighbors, Odunze draft. I don't know if this has that type of star power, but maybe it does because you're talking about four potential, at least, first-round picks of receivers.
Marshall Harris 3:29
Jordan, before we let you go, Jordan Schultz, NFL insider. I got to ask you about Max Crosby because a lot of teams are interested in him. Mike Flora reporting the cost would be two first-rounders and a player. Are there a lot of people who are willing to ante up to that?
Leila Rahimi 3:48
Oh no, we lost Jordan.
Marshall Harris 3:50
Oh no, that's a cliffhanger right there.
Leila Rahimi 3:52
Jordan was, he's chasing down stuff. So I think he's amidst all the news at the Combine. So at least we got Jordan for the time that we had him. I know it's been a busy day for him as well. And just to recap some of the news that he did publish so far about the Bears.
