Humphries didn't do that. He's probably looking at a 'make-good' deal that's closer to what Donovan Smith got than what Robinson is going to get.
As such, I'd probably pivot to DJ from Robinson at this point. I think Cam's a pretty known quantity (and no, I don't think that quantity is 'ass'), but as frustrating as this annual musical chairs has become at LT, I think another year of it is likely in order. This is the first time it's really been a shit-show and Wanya's knee injury may well have contributed to that a great deal.
Humphries/Robinson competing for the LT job next year wouldn't bother me a ton. And of course Kingsley has an off-season to get himself back into the mix.

If they have seen enough from DJ to think he can actually hold down the position next year, and they can keep him on a reasonable 1-year deal, I'd say go for it as well. I'll be fine with that if they decide to go that route, obviously they know better than us.
Still just bummed he couldn't bring it together quickly enough to be the guy for the playoffs. However, if it ends up giving us a starter for next year, it was worth the $6 mil to bring him in and learn the playbook, culture, ect.
