It’s pretty much a done deal he’s going to sign here. I thought it would happen soon after the comp pick deadline but I’m guessing the language with the non football injury clause may be holding it up.
That probably has a lot to do with it, a player isn’t entitled to any pay while on the NFI list and would need to negotiate to either stay off the list or to be compensated while on the list.
If he signs a one year deal, he could also be locked into that same deal with the team in 2024 depending on when he recovers in 2023, so he has to worry about that as well.
I can see the arguments for him signing here, but he hasn’t made enough in his career to leave any significant dollar amount on the table to sign here instead. I think we will need to be close on the money if we want him here.
