That means that he's likely going to give Huff a chance to compete before he signs anything elsewhere, and that's what's taking the time. It comes down to if Huff is going to hit the bid or not. He'll have to consider whether or not he can find another QB to compete in the West. His history is to not play ball in bidding wars, however I feel this year is different given the amount of free agents changing cities and with two upstart football leagues potentially cornering talent that in other years he could bring in at the league minimum.

My bet is this drags on to the maximum level of discomfort for fans, but ultimately he resigns here.

I wish I could share your optimism.

The one tweet that really got my attention was yesterday from Boomer,

My perception is that he and Bo are pretty tight and it felt like Boom was just readying fans for the bad news...softening things up if you will.

Or again...paranoia will destroy ya time.
