Certainly not if a FRP is involved. Just see what we can get elsewhere.A 29 year old is still in a person’s prime. It wasn’t long ago I remember people saying most C’s start their prime later in age (29-30). For sure that was a time when C’s weren’t asked to do as much on the perimeter like they are today, but I think the loss of athleticism is quite a bit overblown.
If 29 was such a problem, why is Powell and Kleber such a different case? Holmes is 10ish months older than Cap, why are we not talking about that too terribly much? Cap also starts at a level so much higher than all players named above, if there is a slip, that should be happening to all the rest, Cap has a much bigger cushion to break the fall.
