I think you are right, but...
I'd love to be a fly on the wall when EDC gets fishing calls from other teams about Lamar's potential availability. Of course, it's the time of year for trolling NFL stories, but I still subscribe to a bit of the, "Where there's smoke there might be fire." I don't think his year, but if there's not a deal done sometime this season or before he's likely franchised, these stories are going to increase and be potentially less of the click-bait form and more of the credible, "sources-are-saying" nature.
I think we do sign Lamar, for the record. But I will love reading about what other teams were offering for him. And if we don't sign him, I will be expecting some team to back up the Brinks truck.
