This seems like kind of a big leap to me.
He probably has a couple offers in hand and is in no rush to sign. I really doubt he foregoes a salary in the hopes that a top receiver goes down mid season on a team that’s willing to pay up.
Time will tell I suppose.
Personal anecdote:
When I initially decided to drop Chrome, I moved to Brave because - as a chromium-based browser - it supported the same set of extensions I’d grown accustomed to.
That being said, the crypto stuff weirded me out enough that, once I’d weaned myself off the extensions, I switched to Firefox.
