I feel there’s been an understanding that Ehlers goes to hit the open market, and I feel they understood that final offseason, and going into final offseason, once they at the least approached the topic of an extension with him.
I feel they perceive that they thought going into the season that they might be using him successfully as their very own rental, they usually’ll must determine issues out to see if they’ll someway change his offensive capabilities elsewhere over the course of the summer season, both by way of a commerce or free company.
I feel all indications are from what I collect, except he pulls a 180, that Ehlers goes to check the market as a free agent and see what choices are going to be out there.”
