What are the Bears' top priorities during the legal tampering period?
Open the gates! There's plenty for everyone. No need to panic. There's plenty for everyone. There's plenty. Don't stampede. No need to stampede, sir.
It's not even open yet. We came back early. We've got 10 seconds. 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Happy legal tampering period negotiation window. Pretend like teams didn't talk to each other and people didn't talk before this.
Doesn't it feel different? Wink, wink, nod, nod. How about that?
Doesn't it feel different?
I can't believe you just called it the legal tampering period. You hate that.
Why do you think I did it with a mock countdown, Mark?
Oh, okay.
It's called tone. This news hit just a few minutes ago, and this is important. This per Ian Rappaport, the 49ers are now said to be open to trading Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams. Sources say if the situation doesn't get resolved, a resolution has not been easy and Williams is reportedly frustrated with the process. He is due $32 million in salary with a $38 million plus cap number. Because there's no such thing as a left tackle store.
37 years old. I think I'd prefer to go to the Taylor Decker store of left tackles.
Yeah, did Taylor Decker declare himself available? He posted and basically said, hey, I'm out here.
You guys are looking at this all wrong. We could just call up Jason Peters, get him involved. Get him off the fishing boats.
My head coach, Jason Peters, who told us more about the Bears that year than the Bears coaching staff did.
Listen, I'm just saying, you could coax him out of... I'm trying to remember if he officially retired.
Maybe not. Check those papers. Does anybody ever retire anymore?
For the record, if Alexi Ramirez can play in the World Baseball Classic at 44, perhaps Jason Peters can still play in the NFL. That's amazing.
Yeah, it was amazing when he came back. Like he did to the Bears at the age of 40. And he was pretty effective. We need Jason Peters. He delivered.
He was magical because he still had elite skills and still was in good shape and also didn't care. So then he just told people what was going on.
The Taylor Decker thing, he requested his release because he was asked to take a pay cut from $18.2 million. He is 32 years old.
What is the significance of the 49ers' potential trade involving Trent Williams?
By all accounts, still above average as a left tackle, not considered great or elite anymore if that's where he was at one point in time, but that's what you're looking at. So there's some expensive – but you do have to – You do have to take care of left tackle, and you must take that seriously, even though they got away with Theo Benedetting it last year and Ozzie Trapillo-ing it last year and to varying degrees of success.
Yeah, I see that. He's very Holiday In Express-y, and I don't mind a Holiday In Express. I had a refrigerator and a microwave. Yeah. So I knew I was living large.
You spent a long time downstate. You did. You did. Last week. We lost a lot of good mint out there.
I get it, man. I know the downstate world, man. I got you. Did you get that complimentary breakfast in the morning? Did you get some of those eggs in you?
Did your face turn into a cinnamon roll?
Make yourself a waffle and a little waffle iron? What I did was grab fruit and leave with the fruit. I don't know if I'm even allowed to do that, but the fruit was there. I was like, I'm going to have it, not for breakfast, but for a snack later on. Smart.
Smart.
I think they know who you are. They probably knew you were a guest and they were cool with it. Don't ever look like you're not supposed to be at the free hotel breakfast. That's how you give yourself away, right? If you look both directions and then run off with some waffles, that might show your guilt.
Yeah, just confidence.
This is Rahimi Harrison-Grote on 104.3 The Score. And while we're waiting for some news and we're absorbing more from the NFL, as this day is one where you're going to find out which teams want whom. For example, where's Tua Tungavailoa going? Reports say that Atlanta is interested in his services. That would make sense. We're going to get a lot of those details. But just like we brought up corner in our previous segment and Brad Biggs telling us, essentially, you should pay attention to corner.
