Why is Bradley Chubb a relevant topic for the Bears?
That was a sack by Bradley Chubb. Careful phrasing. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. And as much as our listeners and we all love to dare to dream, we talk about Max Crosby all the time. And did somebody say Max Crosby? No, we're talking about Bradley Chubb this time.
We will be talking about Max Crosby at noon.
I got five on it. We will be talking about Max Crosby. What we guarantee on this show is we are never more than a couple hours away from talking about Max Crosby.
Shout out to all the Maxinistas out there. Text us 312-644-6767 if you are a Maxinista. What's up with these Maxinistas?
Yo.
Yo.
We don't want to punch you in the face, though. Unlike like tornadoes and other natural disasters. Yo. That's a big callback to a show that doesn't exist anymore. Oh, I hate tsunamis. Multiple shows that don't exist anymore. I just want to kill them. I just want to punch them in the face. Yo! It's a tsunami. I hate it. Tsunami. Tsunami. Oh, no. And now we are Random FM Morning Show talking about natural disasters. Hey, how you doing, everybody? Hey, man, did you hear about this natural disaster that just happened? I've been reading about a crack in the earth. Apparently it's called a fault line. I hear those help make volcanoes and stuff. I just get down to the ground and just start punching it. Now, I know that technically volcanoes make them, and sometimes they all come from the core and stuff, but just go with us on this.
One thing that is kind of tectonic in the NFL is the fact that the Miami Dolphins have a lot of money that they are unloading from their team. It's not just Bradley Chubb. It's also Tyreek Hill. This is, by the way, franchised tag day in the NFL, so we've got to keep an eye on that today, just in case. You just want to see who is of value to a lot of the teams in the league. But Bradley Chubb is reportedly going to be available. So that is the situation when it comes to the 29-year-old free agent. He will soon to be a free agent. It's a pre-June 1 move. Miami will incur fines. $23.8 million in dead money while saving $7.3 million. That is what you call not ideal when it comes to the cap math. Are we considering cap math here?
I think a little bit because I feel the same way about the likelihood of a big name pass rusher for the Bears when it comes to the discussion surrounding Chubb and around Max Crosby. According to the cap percentages on SpotRack for 2026, this is apt to change at any time. We know with the restructure or whatever. When I combined the cap space that Dyer O'Dangbo, Grady Jarrett, and Montez Sweat's contracts take up, just those three combined, it's 21.27% of the Bears cap space combined. I don't know how you look at any of these scenarios and not understand that that's staring you in the face. There's only so much you can restructure. And even then you still got to pay people. I'm really glad because we're going to get into that too later on with Kevin Fishbane.
He laid it all out, like the potential release candidates, contract restructuring candidates. But the point is well taken. The Bears are over the cap right now. They are in the red. They don't have the room right now with which to work. Now they can finagle some things to get there. As far as Bradley Chubb is concerned, look, this guy – It's pretty simple with him. When he's healthy, he's good. But there have been five seasons where he played eight or fewer games. That's the concern right there. But you can go through his career, and when he's played, he has been a winner getting to the quarterback. Now, I don't know if you consider the eight and a half sacks that he had last year, but he did play in 17 games last year.
The year before that, he got skunked. He played in zero games. ACL, right? I believe you're right, yeah. 11 sacks, though, the year before when he played in 16 games. And then in 2022, he played in it. So when he plays, he's good. He is 29 years old, so he's still presumably in the prime of his career. So I'd like him if he could get past the fact that he will miss a season.
