Looks like Dilly's begging for money fell on deaf ears.

Hope the staff feels good about the Lisfranc. That is a very concerning injury.

Not necessarily. It only means teams aren’t allowed to contact him. It doesn’t mean his agent can’t keep contacting them.

While this usually means a player already has a destination worked out, it can also be used by the player and agent to conduct a private auction of sorts between two or three programs that they choose.
