Trust is a big thing with Andy. They were very vocal that they didn't feel Damien took his rehab seriously in 2019 and could have returned much earlier than he did. He, in my opinion, was our offenses' X-factor in the postseason (even over Watkins) simply because defenses simply had no resources for him by trying to blanket Reek and Kelce and Damien truly made it count (did in 2018, too). His blocking out of the backfield was also
clutch in January.
It wouldn't surprise me if after 2020, they wanted guys they could fully trust would suit up each Sunday. It's clear they value his skillset, though - as McKinnon basically has his exact skillset (injury history, too).
