On today’s episode of Forward Progress, Matt and Dan break down the reported trade request from New York Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence. Should Ryan Poles pick up the phone to see what it would take to bring the Pro Bowl lineman to Chicago—and would the move make sense for the Bears’ timeline?

Around the NFL, the guys react to Jawaan Taylor signing with the Atlanta Falcons following Kaleb McGary’s retirement, and they take a closer look at the evolving quarterback situation in Las Vegas, where Kirk Cousins joins a room that could soon include potential No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza.

They also provide a follow-up on the now-infamous Todd Monken haircut story, with Monken quickly becoming their favorite new head coach in the league.

Wrapping things up, Matt and Dan compare the Chicago Bulls’ current leadership structure to the Bears, discussing how Ben Johnson has emerged as the most powerful figure in the Bears organization, similar to how Billy Donovan’s influence grew with the Bulls after Michael Reinsdorf committed to Donovan before hiring his boss.
