Fully understand the logic you’re using to think the way you think. Using your logic of “he’s signed..., it is what it is..., time will tell” can be equally applied to everyone else that is currently signed. Including CGM, well not really Thomas or Kamara as we don’t need “time to tell” as they ARE playmakers, not “time will tell” folks.

“They’re all signed, time will tell, it is what it is”. Right? Problem with that logic is somehow, someway almost $100 million has to be “booked” to be in compliance and field a team in fall 2021. “He is signed” isn’t going to work. 45 of the current 53 players are already “he is signed” and accounted for already in the 2021 cap mess, and those salaries put us over almost $100,000,000.00. There will be “he is signed” folks who won’t be on the final 53 in the fall of 2021. And it’s my belief Taysom Hill should be on that evaluate for trade or release list also. A “gadget” guy is an extravagance.
