Wood signing here is a dead end talking point. I was also a supporter of him, but his time here is done.
Brooks might not live up to that contract. He should have gone to a team who is better equipped to deal with him. I don’t say that in a bad way though. In Mem, all those guys fed off eachother and especially off of Ja. Hou is following in the Wash footsteps a bit where there is already some reported lockerroom issues in the past. Maybe him having to stick up and be THE leader helps him, but it just as easily could sink him further. I wanted him here at $14-16M which I think is perfectly fine and I think our team could have helped him curb that intense competitiveness.
