I mean, you know, when you look at the NFL, it is an arms race.

You know, just look at these stadiums that are being built, these stadiums that are getting to host the Super Bowl, SoFi, and, you know, all these places we go to.

They're phenomenal facilities.

And I think the Steelers, when they do eventually get a new stadium and when they're definitely going to get a new practice facility, I do think they have to pour a lot of resources into that

because they're a flagship NFL franchise.

You don't want to be looked upon in the way they're being looked upon with this bad publicity now.

Now, it's only one day, two days.

People are going to forget about this by the time the weekend's over, but it does seem to come up every single year about this time.

Why not?

Yeah, put it right there in the middle.

See what happens.

Listen, his agent is smart enough to know he's not going to sign a contract now.

Once

They get closer to free agency, I think, a day or two, three before free agency.

If there's a good offer from the Steelers, I think he might sign back before free agency.

But, Joe, you know, a guy like Kenny Gainwell might only have one opportunity to cash in.

So I would not blame him at all for at least looking to see what's out there before I make a decision.

It doesn't mean he has to go for the most money elsewhere.

It just means let's see what's out there and let's see how close the Steelers can get before he makes a call.

I think it's a moot point.
