00:00Larry Borum has been a versatile piece of our offensive line for the last three seasons,
00:04but with recent developments, his future with the Bears might be up in the air.
00:09The Bears have been busy this offseason, adding new talents that could reshape our line's dynamics.
00:14We drafted tackle Kieran Amagagi out of Yale in the third round,
00:18a young talent ready to make his mark.
00:20Additionally, the Bears signed veteran lineman Matt Pryor to a cost-effective one-year deal,
00:25and brought on Jake Curhan, who has a prior connection with our new offensive coordinator,
00:30Shane Waldron.
00:31Larry Borum, despite his valuable versatility and significant playtime,
00:35which earned him a proven performance escalator, might find himself on the chopping block.
00:41This escalator bumps his salary to over $3 million this season.
00:45According to Kevin Fishbane of The Athletic,
00:47this increase could make Borum the most expensive option among our tackles,
00:51potentially affecting his stay with the team,
00:54especially if the newcomers show promising performance in the preseason.
00:57It's a tough situation.
00:59Borum has been reliable, especially when injuries hit our line,
01:02but with NFL teams, financials often dictate tough decisions.
01:05His higher cost might just tip the scales if Amagagi, Pryor, and Curhan
01:09mesh well with Waldron's schemes this July and August.
