Ryan Poles

Gardner-Johnson without the approval of Dennis Allen, but Deshaun Wright without Al Harris, et cetera, et cetera.

I think Ryan Pools and his brass have such faith in this coaching staff.

They're comfortable doing whatever they need in terms of the personnel side and trusting these guys to develop them up.

And you saw that throughout the course of last season.

So many individual success stories along with a breakthrough season.

So I was fascinated by that dynamic a year ago.

How is this going to work with –

an incoming general manager working with a first-year head coach and the power of personnel.

I really believe they were on the same page all the way through the season and more so after having the kind of breakthrough they did.

It's a luxury to have three really dynamic receivers, DJ Moore, Roma, don't say who played through so much last year, injured that you expect better of him next season.

And then Luther burden who flashed brilliance at times throughout the course of last season, that doesn't even include the tight end room with Colston Loveland.

You've got so many options in this passing game.

Uh,

at the same point in time dj more has a contract of twenty plus million a year going through the next four years it's a hefty deal and as you gotta make these decisions and we'll get to the next step in a second here but the caleb williams contract in the future like that's a contract in dj more that's going to loom large over caleb williams discussions and your ability to strike that kind of deal properly so uh... it was a great contract when they signed dj more to that but

He's coming off a tough drop in production.

You've got options at wide receiver.

And given the way that contract works, you can't release him.

You're in a spot where if a team is willing to take on that contract and see him as a number one who can step in for a team on the rise, you've got to consider that move.

And I know there's been a lot of talk about the Max Crosby possibility.

That's thinking way too big.
