Has his weight ever actually been an issue?
He put on mass in '24 as a wideback, then got sick and put on more weight as a side effect.
He says he got up to 225, and nobody says otherwise, which is easy to do when your diet consists of 4k+ calories a day and your activity goes to zero and you start retaining water. s**t just over that weekend he probably gained 10lbs.
Also coming in to camp at 5-10lbs over your playing weight with the intention of trimming down is probably fairly common. if he wanted and discussed wanting a bit more bulk because of the RB/KR thing and brought his weight up, that is not a weight issue, just a bad choice.
