There's a bunch of scenarios here.
Maybe Hilton wants off this train and asked to be traded before his career is over.
Maybe Ballard is being true to his word and making a statement to that very effect: If you don't produce, you're gone.
Hilton isn't a leader, is not able to step up and help Brissett be more successful.
This season has been such a clusterfuck it's really easy for me to see that TY Hilton could be traded for a 1 or a couple 2's and those picks would be more valuable long term than TY Hilton will be.
Despite the general malaise about this team right now, Hilton is quietly having a decent year, on pace for over 1000 yards. Only 1 TD, but We've only scored 14 total this year.
I find myself shockingly indifferent regarding this move.
