Add in the latest on Kuefler’s new deal and Andersen’s status, and this has the feel of one of those mornings when the rumor board gets crowded fast. Detroit’s situation carries the kind of stakes that make front offices sweat, because once a story like this starts moving, it tends to expose a lot more than one player’s future.
