Mike Mulligan and David Haugh conducted the daily 5 at 5 segment, which began with a discussion about the Bears' salary cap situation. Chicago currently has a little more than $26 million in cap space, according to Spotrac.com. A new NFL collective bargaining agreement could create as much as $5 million more in cap room. As general manager Ryan Pace talks to agents at the NFL Combine during the unofficial tampering period, what should the team's top three priorities be? The guys then shared their thoughts on whether NFL players will ratify the owners' CBA proposal given the likely increase in revenue it would create. The morning crew also had a conversation about Cubs star Kris Bryant pushing back at the idea that he's a defensive liability at third base. He had minus-7 defensive runs saved in 2019, tied for the third-worst mark at the position, according to “The Bill James Handbook." Where should manager David Ross start Bryant? The guys also reacted to White Sox designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion's prediction that left fielder Eloy Jimenez will hit 500 home runs during the course of his career. Later, they debated what's more impressive about Bulls guard Coby White: scoring 30-plus points in three consecutive games off the bench or the way North Carolina has fall apart without him?
