That’s what I mean though. Surely they wouldn’t let him just keep showing up to his office right up to the last day of his contract. If it expires on July 1 for example, if I’m Murray Edwards I set an internal timeline with Treliving after the season is over to get an extension done. If it can’t be done in 1-2 weeks (that’s all I would give) then you ask Brad to stay home for the rest of his contract due to the need to complete a search for a new GM and ideally get them in place before the end of May so they can handle the draft and free agency.
