Sounds like he might have some personal / family excrement going on.

That was what I assumed with the amount of personal time he’d been given/taking when he steps away from the team. I had worried that one of his kids was sick, hopefully my speculative brain is very wrong about that, and he just decided to walk away from the game.
Financially it saves us a large chunk of money, which means we absolutely have the cap space to make a “big” addition at the deadline if one is available to us. For me, all eyes should be on Mike Evans at the deadline. He feels like the perfect opportunity, of big time player who adds an element to our wr corps, with an expiring contract, on a team we suspect will be bad and be out of it and heading into full rebuild mode as they approach the deadline.
It sucks to lose a weapon, but we will be alright, and are set for more dual TE work going forwards.
