They got first-round production out of Luther Burden for a second-round pick, and that's the name of the game is maximizing value.

So I do think that he's got a very, very high ceiling in this league.

Yeah, I tend to lean with you.

They were very positive about him in the end-of-season pressers today, which talk is cheap and DJ Moore is not cheap for next year.

One person with the team told me that it was not an effort issue on the last play, that it was...

Also, not quite a miscommunication, but like confusion that it was a newer route concept that they had put in and they were a little surprised by the coverage.

And he kind of slowed down out of confusion of exactly where he was supposed to take that route, which I think speaks a little bit to why Ben Johnson put it on him today, put it on himself today.

Also, because Ben Johnson is a great leader and has accountability.

So, you know, obviously not a great moment for DJ Moore.

I also don't love that he skipped out on the media, both right after the game and the next day.

Like, it would be nice for DJ Moore to give his version of events on the play that ended the season, given what he gets paid and given his veteran status on the team.

So my gut tells me, Marshall, that he plays for a new team next year.

I'm with you.

Their words today gave me a little bit of pause on that.

But Odunze, Burden, and Loveland is a very, very good core.

It's not that he's become expendable.

It's just that the money probably can be used elsewhere.

And there are cheaper veteran receivers who you could bring in to be the number three receiver on a team, but still the number one adult veteran in the room, as opposed to the $28 million veteran piece in the room.

So my gut tells me he plays elsewhere.

Yeah, I don't know.
