I don't usually watch this stuff but I was curious to see Tyson Bagent and what he had to say about this offseason.    A few things stood out.   Overall it's a good enjoyable interview.  

Asked to pick a breakout player this year:  He chose two one offense one defense:  Caleb....said he's putting in the work and the coaching they are getting and the players added to the offense is absolutely going to make a big difference for him.   I was surprised at his defensive choice:  Gervon Dexter.  Bagent said he (paraphrasing)...   just works hard on everything every single day.   

Get an indoor stadium it'll be easier to throw for 4000yds.  It's not the cold but the wind that wreaks havoc on passes.

I have seen this video but never clicked on it but I like when insight is provided in places I wouldnt look. It would be nice to see Bagent get playing time to see where he is at in development but that would mean Caleb  is hurt and that wouldnt be good. I have been posting videos where you here maybe a little different outlook on things we talk about everyday.

I can see Dexter showing up mainly because he is working hard to get where he needs to go. When Akiem Hicks came here he had runs in NO and NE and then he got here and was a force for a few years. If players work hard it pays dividends.

The vibe around this team really is different. Before, the optimism was based on hope, now it is legitimately backed up with the players and coaches. Still early but it is nice to see the change this soon. 

Every time there was a controversy before, Flus would downplay, deflect, or flat out not comment on it. When in reality there were like 10 huge elephants in the room. Now both Johnson and Williams have come out and addressed what could've morphed into something bigger. 

Players on both sides of the ball, especially ones that were here from last year are saying how things are more challenging. Sweat said DA's defense has a lot more complexity to it than he is used to. It makes sense because how complex could a Flus defense really get if Flus was the mastermind?

2026 Poles will have little wiggle room without working some magic. They won't be active in FA since they are already projected over the cap for 2026. I think at some point this year, they extend Brisker or Byard so there is some continuity going forward. I hope that udfa from Oregon can play.  That would be a bonus. The draft will be RB, S, TE and NT just to fill open roster positions for losses to fa.  At least the RB class is just as good if not better. 

If the Bears want some extra cap and decide to trade Kmet to free up space, they will need to sign/draft 2 since they will already need to add 1, so that doesn't seem logical.  TE is the second hardest position to learn after QB and you need experience.   They might extend him and spread the salary out. 

Braxton Jones has trade written all over him and I hope he comes back and plays well enough for interest.  The trade will have to be a 2nd or 3rd, imo. We should get a 3rd comp if he signs elsewhere in fa. 

As for Ian Cunningham getting a GM job, it would be in the Bears best interest to happen 2027 when they will need draft assests the most. If the Bears are hot this season, he will probably get his gig.

I also seen where Jeff King was interviewed for a GM job but dont remember the team. If they have success this year and King leaves (Adam) would we get a pick or do you have to be black to get the comp pick?

They have to be a minority to be awarded compensation.
