00:00Max Crosby's next team here.
00:01He was upset last year when they told him to go home.
00:04Now, could he be on the move?
00:06Las Vegas still with a 56% chance to keep him in house,
00:10followed by Chicago at 31%, Joe.
00:14The Bears have surged to 31 cents for one reason, Tati,
00:18and that's because Caleb Williams recently appeared on Max Crosby's podcast.
00:24And that's it.
00:25Then you had an ESPN hypothetical trade article that went viral.
00:30You've got to be kidding me here.
00:32The financial reality, though, crushes that podcast narrative.
00:36The Bears are currently $10 million over the salary cap.
00:39So to acquire Crosby, they would have to absorb his $61 million salary hit
00:45over the next two years.
00:47Don't see that happening.
00:49Short Chicago at 27 cents.
00:52This might be the easiest fade on the board here moving forward, Donnie.
00:57And by the way, when you look at this,
00:58it's not just you trade him and get a draft pick back.
01:00There are massive cap restrictions on both sides
01:03because of how much money he makes and how much he just signed for here.
01:06And also, if you want to know how the markets understand
01:08how this thing really works, well, second is Kansas City at 34%.
01:11They would love to have them.
01:13You click on the no, you try to put down $100 as an investment,
01:16it doesn't let you because there's no way the Raiders are trading in the division.
01:19Max Crosby to the Kansas City Chiefs.
01:21The Eagles are always up there with Harry Roseman followed by Chicago.
01:24This is tough.
01:25And for a new regime to come in, they're going to beg him to stay.
01:28I don't know if he leaves because not because he's not a great player
01:32and wants to get out of there, Joe,
01:33but the financial ramifications are just too much.
01:36Way too much, Donnie, and that's exactly correct.
01:39There's more to it than just showing up on a podcast here.
01:43You've got, you know, draft capital.
01:45You've got cap considerations.
01:48None of that works for Chicago.
01:50Let's squeeze in another one here.
01:52Will Travis Kelsey announce his retirement before next season?
01:54Here's the caveat, Joe, the fine print.
01:56The retirement must be intended to be effective immediately or prior to the first new season
02:01after the announcement.
02:02How about that, Joe?
02:04So is he going to announce his retirement?
02:05Is he going home?
02:06By the way, only trading at Kelsey at a 17.4% chance.
02:11Yeah, well, it's kind of crazy, right?
02:13I mean, the 87 cents here, assuming that he wants to ride it out with the Chiefs,
02:17despite turning 37.
02:19And to me, the entire landscape of the AFC changed when Mahomes tore his ACL.
02:24So the Chiefs missed the playoffs entirely,
02:26and now Kelsey has to decide if he wants to grind through another rebuild year here.
02:31Yeah, I don't think so.
02:34I think invest in the yes, Donnie.
02:36This is the ultimate value play.
02:38You're getting nearly 6-1 on a legendary tight end whose Hall of Fame quarterback
02:43is likely not going to be 100% for another two years.
02:47No thanks.
