What about Rex?

Very few teams have such a versatile athlete on their roster.

I see this too, and it kinda pains me to think our team just might let him go instead of incorporating his abilities more into the offense. Keeping Gio is a given (at least to me), but Hill has become more of a question. Of course, the poor Oline play of last year didn't help him, physically or mentally, but like I said earlier - Rex managed success behind the same line. Hill returning to his rookie year success is a 50/50 proposition imho. He's got to overcome that hesitancy that Rex doesn't have, and the past two years doesn't inspire me to believe that he will.

I believe Rex believes he can be a starter, and perform well for the entire season. If he finds another team who shares that belief, then he's gone. I'll hate it for selfish reasons, but will cheer him on if it turns out that way.
