I honestly don't know.That is Wood not wanting Det, not how DFS98 explained and lumped Det into the teams not wanting Wood back though. There is a difference. Maybe Det will never want him back at this point, but to say they didn’t want him back then and adding that to the narrative of his career is just false.
Still, they featured Wood down the stretch of a lost cause season, knowing the role/remuneration he was hoping to earn, like an audition, then opted to give that, specific role and contract to Jerami Grant, NOT Wood. They might have "wanted him back" if that meant hoping he understood that he wasn't going to play a featured role or get a big contract. Knowing Wood as we do, my hunch is that he didn't really feel like they wanted him back.
