It wouldn’t mess up the cap. It’s more about precedence.

Yeah, Jackson would be elite at flag football. Tackle football? Not so much. Raven fans will learn soon enough that Eddie has negative interest in contact. Kind of a problem for a football player.
There was a reason why Eddie Jackson was still available this late into the offseason. If Ravens fans think they are getting eddie from a few years ago, oh boy are they going to be disappointed. ATP in Eddie's career he is more of a backup than a starter.

Montez Sweat taking on "bigger role" in first full season with Bears
The Bears picked up edge rusher Montez Sweat in a trade with the Commanders midway through the 2023 season and his arrival coincided with a positive change in fortunes for the team.

With Ogbah's signing with Miami, it's probably safe to say that the D-line will live and die with the effectiveness of Dexter Sr. If he can secure that 3T role, Walker can kick out to the edge full-time, and the line looks fine if not top notch. Eberflus experimented some with putting Dexter on the edge and kicking Walker in for obvious passing downs last season, which I think largely worked out. Still, I think it's preferable if Dexter is a good enough 3T that he sticks there on passing downs.
Ngakoue remains unsigned, for good reason IMO. Team has been talking up Jacob Martin, so I think it's more likely they stick with him and Booker as edge 3/4 than that they bring back Ngakoue who might have been the worst edge in the league last year.
Training camp seems to be progressing. Players are in the best shape of their life and the team will go 17-0 next year.

I hear Caleb is "really commanding the huddle" this week. Super Bowl?

I mean, I haven't heard of any other QB in the league commanding the huddle this week.* So that seems like a reasonable expectation to me.
*caveat: I haven't heard any news about any other team.

you know, **** it, let’s just not think so much
You're probably aware but.......other teams are just beginning to report to their camp. Bears and Texans(?) got a one week head start because of HOF game. The Daniels, Maye, Nix, Levis, Richardson, Young, etc hype trains should start soon.

How a Jordan Love film session sparked Josh Jacobs’ early interest in Packers
“I remember the play like it was yesterday,” Jacobs told Yahoo Sports. Here's what was so memorable about it — and what kind of role Jacobs hopes to carve out alongside Love.

First day of padded practice in training camp. Reports say defense won the day. Offense rebounded a bit toward the end.
Dexter had 0 TFL all last season. He supposedly lost some weight and gained some lean mass over the summer. He needs to have a big season.
Tyler Scott's name keeps popping up in training camp.
Fields puts his head down and runs on that play, guaranteed.

The fact that the first preseason Bears game is under a week from now is kind of a mind frag. My brain just isn't remotely in a football state of mind yet.

I don't consider either player elite. Good/real good but not great. I think both guys enter Dak Prescott level and then level off.
That's the market for QBs. The cap is $255 mill for 2024. It was $208 mill in 2022. That's a jump of like 23% or something. So, an AAV of $40 mill in 2022 is now like $49 mill.
Means that if Caleb can perform just well, he's going to get a monster contract come 2027 off-season when he's eligible. So, have to make traction over the next 3 seasons when you can afford the rest of the roster.

Not too surprising. The NFL really needs to axe this dumb thing, or just make it part of the already established preseason rather than tacking on a preseason game for two teams annually.
