I’m not sure how this is surprising at all. We know Drake has immense talent. He is more of a change of pace back. He excels in space and on short passes screens etc. he is not an every down back and is injury prone. He is electric and I love him as a player, he is a foundational player in a rotation. With that said we were going to lose him one way or the other.
if we were in year two in the rebuild I would say keep him, but we are still in the negative and rbs don’t age well. He will be a good role player for 3-4 more years and that’s it. Our new drake is currently a junior in college, so let’s move on..
