Nover you’ve said a lot of hard truths here.
If last summer taught me anything it’s that it’s tough to predict what the hell happens next with this team and the Immune1. The guy is engaged and for the first time I ever recall, he recently mentioned how he wants to have kids. Safe bet he wants to retire before that. I do believe he wanted to at least get to one more big dance so he could justify riding into the sunset and do that.
But now…he can’t go out like that, right? But then again, he just might. He has said plenty of times he wants to spend his whole career with da Pack, and I really don’t see him going somewhere else. Saints? Maybe, but Payton and himself make for 2 large egos to get aligned, with little time to spare in his longevity.
