The Knicks Stay Alive With Rob Mahoney and Joe House, Plus NFL Offseason Intrigue Rankings With Albert Breer

And if he signs April 1st and says, okay, guys, like I'm going to go away for the next two months. And when I'm back, I'm back. But like, I got some personal stuff I got to attend to. I've got travel planned.

what you're inviting then is then whenever you start the off-season program, you get into OTAs, anytime the media is there, it's going to be, where's Aaron? Where's Aaron? Where's Aaron? And so I think both sides wanted to avoid that. And so that's part of it. And then I think the other end of it, and this is like, to me, almost the more interesting thing.

Well, if you remember, so he skipped the mini camp. The Jets had their mini camp at the end of June or in the middle of June last year at the end of their offseason program. And Aaron had been like pretty much a full participant in everything that they'd done up until then. And then he skipped the mini camp. And it was something that they had kind of predetermined he was going to do.

But, you know, Sala said to him, okay, like, that's fine, but I still have to fine you. And I still have to hold you responsible. I still have to say, like, this isn't an excused absence because we have to have a standard for everybody. And it became like a two- or three-week story. And when they hit bumps in the summer and early in the fall, it continued to be a story.

Just whenever you're in, you're all in, but not until then. And so I think the logic here between the Steelers and Aaron is like, okay, once you show up, we need all of you, bud. We need you all the way here.
