Who is Drew Dalman and why is his replacement necessary?
A year from today, what would your dream private practice look like? Would you spend less time chasing claims or only working with clients who value your skillset? What if you had a network to reach out to for questions or free continuing education? What if you had more time for yourself? Alma empowers you to confidently accept insurance, backed by an all-in-one EHR that simplifies scheduling, documentation, and day-to-day practice operations. With a network of engaged providers and free CE resources, Alma makes it easy for you to build the practice of your dreams on your terms. Alma believes that when therapists get the support they need, mental health care gets better for everyone. I'm Brian. I work at UnitedHealthcare.
So Brian, why do you care? I care because I don't want to leave anybody behind. I oversee one of the biggest resource centers in UnitedHealthcare. I see people walk in my office every day, just like my parents. They have no idea about the healthcare. I feel like they are my uncles, aunties. I treat people like family. I'm Brian, and I'm committed to care. Dear McDonald's, your breakfast menu, fire. Tens across the board. I could be happy with anything, even though I order the same thing every time. Thanks for not judging me. I'll try something new next time. Maybe. Score a two-for-five dollar deal on a sausage McMuffin with egg and more. Limited time only. Price and participation may vary. Cannot be combined with any other offer.
Single item at regular price. Ba-da-ba-ba-ba. Let's start. I mean, the number one name on the center list right now is Tyler Linderbaum. He is a free agent. Baltimore made him a market-setting offer that apparently he didn't like. We're looking at a $20 million plus offer. Plus, yeah. Make sure you emphasize the plus. The plus is very important in this case because I think that's about what Baltimore had offered him. He'd be the dream scenario. He's the best of the best. And I would just listen to Olin Krutz on the score talking about this guy and watching his tape and his ability to do everything. And probably a better player than even Drew Dallman, who just feels even better now because he retired now that we can't have him anymore.
But yeah. What do you think about the realistic possibilities of somebody like Tyler Linderbaum coming to the Bears? If our merch department was better, this is the point in the show where I would grab a T-shirt, put it on, and it would say, with what money, Karen? That's where we get to. Maybe they'll take the North logo right under it, and I think we should try to market that really quick. But with what money, Karen, take the North pod. Let's get on that. I say that because, look, you put that plus on the end of $20 million average annual value. The Bears are already up against it cap-wise, and there's no question that Tyler Linderbaum would be the best possible replacement at center for the Bears.
That's why he would be attractive. There's no question he would be most likely an upgrade over drew dahlman and you you plug him in and be like we feel better but this isn't done in a vacuum and you've got all these other needs to fill and so if that's the direction you want to go you have to start asking your questions right away okay do we cross off the premier edge rusher from our free agent shopping list do we say kevin byard thanks for stopping by for a couple years but we've got to move in a new direction yeah You know, what do we do with the interior of our defensive line? How do we address the safety position as a whole? Like, those are the questions you have to answer in terms of how important this really is to you.
You mentioned they've already made him an offer and he's rejected it. And so the likelihood is he will hit the open market. And then I would imagine the Ravens would say, hey, if you get something you love, come back to us and we'll see if we can match it. And then it'll be up to the player to decide whether he wants to stay in Baltimore or just go where the biggest outside offer comes from.
