And finally, they dive into the highly anticipated Maxx Crosby trade rumors, with the Bears emerging as one of the favorites to land the superstar pass rusher. But if Chicago makes a move… what will it cost? Finally, Hoge & Jahns React LIVE to the DJ Moore trade. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
