But he was using Oklahoma Alumni in NFL to vie for him on social media (including Mixon).
And to your point, he is visiting with Teams who aren't necessarily considered as true SB contenders.
Then they were sending feeds through media about interest from 10 Teams and supposedly $11M offers.
He may get an $11M offer with a low base and incentive clauses that would be unrealistic.
So it's a matter of the intersect of ego and money. They have to meet at a point that makes sense for him. He could take less and still be the man on a Team's DL or take more and rotate.
He'll find a home.
He and his agent are playing this expertly, imo. It definitely seems to be more about money. That's why it's dragging on. If it was about winning a championship, he would've taken less and been signed by now. That's probably why the Pats were rumored to be interested, but quickly dropped off the radar.

The Rams from 2005-2016 were every bit as bad as the 1991-2002 Bengals. A swift turnaround is very possible. It most often has to do with finding a great HC.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
