Ah. I didn't know about the injury clause in his contract. Makes sense that they would want to make sure he didn't get injured since they had decided to run him out of town.

I'm not so sure about the tanking though. For starters they were doing a damn good job of tanking w/ Jones in there, and also DeVito played much better than Jones in 2023.
