Dillon pick worse, and Lorin Cox from Locked on Bears breaks down Andy Dalton's arrival in Chicago. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Two of the most shocking offseason moves happened this offseason over the weekend in Green Bay when the Packers found a way to keep Preston Smith with a similar cap hit to what they would have if they'd cut him, then signed Aaron Jones to a long-term deal.

Why they look willing to do that and what it says about Brian Gutekunst's approach to team building.
