Breaking down more of NFL free agency.

That's what we're talking about today on Stealing bananas.

I'm Benckgretsch.

You can find my newsletter at vanguard.

Subt.com with me as always is Sean Siegel.

You can find all of his

fantastic work at Rodeviz. Sean in our last episode, in a true testament to the fact that any

reaction right now to free agency is probably premature. We talked quite a bit about Devon

Singletary to the Bills. You made the contrarian case,

as you called it, that that landing spot was better for Devin Singletary and worse for Antonio

Gibson because of sort of what the alternatives would be. Now that he's completely changed his

mind and signed back with Washington, apparently because he didn't have

any offer from them, but then they made him the same offer that Buffalo made, and that was enough

to get him to stick around. I get it from a, you know, a lifestyle perspective. He's been living there,

but I don't know how you pick Washington over Buffalo from a football perspective at the same

dollar value.

But now that he has flipped his decision, let's start there.

Is it better for Antonio Gibson and worse for Devin Zigglary?

Well, the first thing is that we're obviously talking about this because the Deshawn Watson saga has created an environment in which no free agent signings are occurring. And so we have plenty of time to talk about this sort of absurd situation here or not absurd.

It's a great situation for McKissick. It's a little bit odd because it's one of those where

your friend, your family, what have you, is like, oh, we, you know, we weren't interested in you. But now we see that you've undervalued yourself. Sure. Come on back. We didn't realize you were worth that little. And so it's great to see. We're just kind of joking aside. It's great to see because this human element and wanting to be with your teammates, wanting to play for the Washington commanders, this is obviously a choice based on

wanting to be with your guys, and you'd love to see this, right?
