    Every single move that Rob has made, has come out of left field, ever since he got promoted.

    This is why I’ll never be able to fully embrace Rob. If you can’t recognize a talent this special and do what it takes to keep him when he’s willing to take less to be here, I question your talent evaluation.

    He would be perfect for our team too. Such a shame... can't believe they picked THT over him - sigh.

    We know why too.

    i will reiterate that we had his bird rights, and it didn't have to be either/or. we actually ended up spending like, 2 million less on kendrick nunn. imo, that was the switchoff--nunn for caruso. wtf. and even THAT didn't have to be the case. once again, bird rights! ultimately, it was penny pinching that lost caruso, which is sad for one of the most valuable franchises in sports.

    ^ all true. If SA or anyone else made an offer to Austin, he would also be gone.

    I'll die on this hill. That decision was made above Rob. It was about the luxury tax issue. Caruso's 10 million contract would have cost the team something like 30 million. Still a terrible decision, but I'm convinced Jeanie made the final call.

    Yup. This is the real reason. I understand it and it’s easy for us to throw shade when it’s not our money.
    It also ain’t Pennie’s- it’s Tens of Millions of Dollars.
    I’m happy that the Eagle is able to play with such a fun group and not stuck in Chicago anymore.
