Don’t know the backstory, but for a team in need of a big that can move and at the tax line, 2.16MM is ridiculously low.

If we had wanted to keep Jax, we probably would have said so.

Something like that would have been said. The fact that Griff never said anything like that tells you everything you need to know.
