Pat and Jurko open the show with a strong take — the NFL needs to investigate and punish the Baltimore Ravens. The guys explain why, what it means for league integrity, and how it could impact teams across the NFL.

Then the focus shifts back to Chicago: is there still a realistic scenario where the Bears pursue Maxx Crosby, but with a different trade structure? Jurko lays out a creative offer that could land an elite pass rusher without mortgaging the future.

Finally, Jurko presents his full plan to address the Bears’ biggest roster holes in the NFL Draft, detailing position priorities and how Ryan Poles can build this roster the right way.
