And I don't see those relationships running out anytime soon.

And it's affected me deeper than just the game itself.

So, you know, I'm grateful for you guys.

I got to say, not to like pat myself on the back or anything, but I'm very surprised at how little I've stressed about it.

It's just...

This past year could have gone way better for me.

I could have stayed healthy.

I could have had a good, you know, cool platform year going into free agency or what have you.

But I, you know, I've just felt like I'm going to land wherever God wants me to land.

And, you know, I think that there's no right or wrong time for me to be anywhere right now.

You know, I have the things that I want as far as like,

physical location for my family and I, for, you know, financially or whatever.

But I, you know, I've really enjoyed my career to this point.

Like, I've seen some really tough times with some tough teams, but made some great relationships and learned a lot of lessons there.

Obviously, I wouldn't want to lose a lot, so I don't want to go to a losing team, but

I've the way I've been able to look back on everything and be like, I'm grateful for what I've had.

I don't think that there's going to be something that I could really be upset about.

You know, I, I think, I think everything will work out the way it's supposed to work out is bottom line.

And I've kind of just, you know, when I've got a text from my agent, just looked at it and smiled and responded or,

you know, I've stayed, you know, I don't go on the internet a whole lot anyway, but I've stayed off the internet and I kind of tried to just keep my head down and keep working.
