I still kinda think Katz expected the market for the DTs to jump with Simmons, Williams and Lawrence all signing this off-season.
And it kinda did, but it didn't get close to Donald.
The failure of the market to develop threw them a curveball they weren't ready for.
So I do think we can actually consider the possibility of mere incompetence on Katz's part rather than bad-faith.
Hanlon's Razor is useful again: "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity..."
There's a good chance that Katz just royally ****ed up his read on the DT market, put himself in a bind and is now doubling down on stupid.
