Not sure where I read that, but it was in some article about extending Bates and Hubbard.

Agreed.

I'm not 100% sure if the June 1st designation applies to a situation like his, but if it does, makes complete sense.

I'm basing it on gut feeling, but the (little) evidence we have is:

1. He's all of a sudden become not only a leader, but a vocal leader; guys don't typically start talking to the media about their exploits in leadership, unless something has changed.
2. He's leading team meetings and organizing things; if he knows he's not coming back, I don't see why he would do this (again, not out of the realm of possibility, but it'd be kinda weird).
3. Biggest tell of all, IMO, is that he's our new NFLPA player rep. Again, if he doesn't expect to come back at all, I don't know why he'd take up that mantle, for just 1 season.

But yeah, these are just hypotheses and guesses; he may not be signed yet, but I just have a gut feeling that due to the above, he's here for a while.
