they could conceivably plan on losing some of these guys because they don't want to pay that next contract and just making sure they draft well again and keep the runway getting even longer. They've just got every option available. To me, that's the biggest thing.

You know, it felt, Zena, like it was a process oriented vote for the most part. And, you know, the people who voted, admittedly, a lot of it was text message. You're not always talking to the person. So they didn't necessarily unpack their entire thought process. But it did feel like some of the commentary that we got back, positive and negative.
