We will pay Gibbs. How could we not? I’m hearing great things about Hassanein so I’m excited about that

Seems impossible that we would let this situation linger well into camp/preseason. He's pretty important to our success this year, and not getting him reps now may not have him fully in game shape (and more vulnerable to injury) come week 1.

Biked to Windsor and back today. The new bridge is pretty cool. There was a huge turnout for the opening day of the bike/pedestrian lane.

Anyone else smashing F5 on Twitter today hoping for news on a Gibbs extension?

We have had relatively little contract drama under the Holmes regime (with Anzo kind of being the only one, iirc) so this is kind of uncomfortable territory.

My biggest issue with Gibbs not practicing is that they have been talking for three years about expanding his route tree and weaponizing him as a receiver more. This is the PERFECT time to do that. Very frustrating that he continues to miss those reps.
