Still fascinating that final say on roster decisions are reportedly baked into his contract.

”…reportedly…”

So just a guess?

 The interesting note is the OP confirmation w/ the added news of the contract language.  It's always been his show.

It’s generally been assumed Rhule has always had “final say”…

…but the original poster has”confirmed” nothing — neither he nor Alexander have seen the contract and they have no idea what kind of “language” it contains.

Except that Rhule himself has talked about things being written into contracts, and the interview itself has Rhule indicating that it was talked about during Fitterer's intro press conference (which I haven't re-watched).

Rhule confirmed Friday that, technically, he has final say over the team's roster. But he also made it clear that he's not looking at new general manager Scott Fitterer as a subordinate, either.

"I think in terms of on the contract, a lot of those things probably rest with me," Rhule said. "But that's not something I'm real interested in. I told you guys from the very beginning, . . . I think it's kind of a formality.

"Scott's here to run the personnel. He's here to build the roster. He's here to establish the draft process. I think some things are written into the contract, but I think we're going to work collaboratively and work together."

I believe Rhule does have “final say”…

…but neither Alexander nor Ellis have brought anything new to the table to “confirm” it.

Simply a dead horse beating exercise for clicks…

Reading the huddle is like reading a full on conspiracy theory website.

Very discouraging. So, if Rhule thinks trading away all our picks to get Kurt Cousins or Jimmy G will save him, he can do it and nobody can stop him unless Tepper fires him.

Fitterer is the one who puts the chips on the table. If he doesn't want it on the table, it won't happen. He just can't cut players or sign players unless Rhule agrees. So, for anything to happen Rhule and Fitterer need to agree. That's why everything is moving so slow with personnel changes.
