| 0:00.0 | Honestly, I think it's just like filling the energy, whether it's here at practice, whether it's like when we show up on game day, like you could just feel that energy. That energy is contagious. And like, you know, as a player, you're going to do everything in your power that makes you deliver for the city because you know you have a lot of people behind you. Even with it being such a big city, it's like, nah, like they really bleed, you know, Chicago Bears out here out here and it's like you can do everything |
| 0:21.4 | in your power to make sure you put a smile on everybody's faces because I mean that's just what competitors do you know what I mean obviously you want to do it for the reasons you do it for but at the same time and when you know you have a city behind you and when you know the people are you know hungry for and when like you want to want to to do everything your power to deliver for. |
| 0:46.3 | Tremaine Edmonds in his three years with the Bears has averaged 111 tackles inside of a season, |
| 0:55.2 | four tackles for loss, and one fumble recovery, and one forced fumble. |
| 0:59.9 | I don't know if the statistics really talk about how good he played in spurts, |
| 1:04.7 | but I do think a lot of people were hoping there would be more from Tremaine Edmonds. And it looks like he's going to be a cap casualty unless the Bears can find a trade partner |

| 1:13.3 | and don't want to let Tremaine go to the market because he's a good fit on their team. |
| 1:19.0 | Tremaine is one story like that. |
| 1:21.3 | DJ Moore is another, but I thought that Ryan Poles being the guy who took us to quarterback finances in the middle of talking |
| 1:32.2 | yesterday, kind of reminds you what's going on here. Here's Ryan Poles yesterday at the |
| 1:38.8 | combine voluntarily and without prompt bringing up Caleb's eventual extension. |
| 1:46.0 | I'm really fortunate to have Matt Feinstein. |
| 1:48.0 | I think he's one of the best cap guys in the league. |
| 1:51.0 | He gives us a lot of different scenarios for us to operate in, |

| 2:04.8 | Because we want to say in that sweet spot where we have maximum amount of flexibility as we move on not only from this year, but three years down the road. |
| 2:09.8 | I hope eventually to have a quarterback situation too where we got to pay a young quarterback. |
