Probably also explains why a deal hasn’t been completed yet. If I’m Conroy, Mercer has to be the target. If it ends up being Holtz, there had better be an unprotected 2024 1st + coming with him. Especially if there’s retention.

But best case scenario these comments have neutral effect on Holtz’s value.
There is no benefit from saying these things about your player to the media 3 days before the TDL. It’s sloppy
