00:00I think they kind of dropped some breadcrumbs at the end of the season
00:04in that regard, and people just kind of – you're going to wait and see, right?
00:12Do they want to go for a bigger move or not?
00:14Because Ben Jensen, they had tremendous success in year one.
00:18He's got a quarterback going into year three.
00:21They've got a handful of other young players that have performed well,
00:27should be getting better.
00:29You go out and you make that Crosby move, and you're giving yourself a short window,
00:36and then you're going to have some – you're going to have to really rectify
00:41what's going on with your salary cap in the not-too-distant future.
00:44And then you're in a position where your quarterback is, what, near six,
00:49and you're – George McCasky's got a task force at Hollis Hall
00:56going through the chairs and sofas there trying to find loose change for their salary cap, right?
01:04They're going to be in an untenable position.
01:08So they've kind of maintained that all along.
01:12They want to build something that is going to sustain and put them in position to contend yearly.
01:18I know Bears fans love to take swipes at the Packers, but guess what?
01:25They've been in the postseason most every year, and that's the first step for the Bears.
01:32They've got to prove that they can make it to the tournament every January
01:38and have the kind of roster and foundation in place to put themselves in a position,
01:44and you go swing on that older guy.
01:49It didn't make sense to me at the end of the season, and it doesn't make sense now,
01:55especially when you look more and more closely at the roster, what it looks like in 26,
02:03what you could project ahead to 27 and 28, and then the cap situation.
