Hopefully there is some wizardry that we can do to keep all 3, but that's probably not going to happen. Hopefully Chenal is ready to break fools.

I keep waiting for a light bulb to come on for Gay and for him to turn into some all-world monster.
Because the flashes he shows are things that maybe literally NOBODY in the NFL can do. I mean he's a truly unique physical talent.
But he's just always been kinda dumb.
But what gets slept on with him is the energy level. I don't care about that all that much for offensive players, but on defense I want SOMEONE who plays with his hair on fire. It was always, IMO, what prevented DJ from being the annual All-Pro his physical skills said he could be. He was just so cerebral, for good and bad. He was always thinking his way through plays.
And sometimes you kinda want someone that's just looking to hurt someone out there. That's looking to fly into an area and make a play. That's able to make a mistake and 2 plays later have a giant shit-eating grin on his face and slapping his teammates on the ass for something they did.
That guy is pretty important to the defensive psyche, IMO.
So while the question will naturally be Gay or Tranquil - they just bring such different things that I don't think that's the right question. I think it's Tranquil or Bolton. And with Gay, it's just a question of money. Keep Tranquil or don't - it's immaterial to the Gay decision, IMO.
If you can afford to retain him, you do it. If you can't - well damn. But whether Tranquil is here or he isn't, I don't think that calculus changes substantially apart from the cap space we have available to us. And I think you DEFINITELY close the door on Gay before you use that cap space on Tranquil.
