From the article

Dell is officially in his fourth year of his contract. It is the last year of his contract. Will he get a second contract or will he be just another statistic that drives the average length of a career down?

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Contract year pressure and injury history create high-risk comeback scenario.

Dell is in his fourth and final year of his contract, making 2024 a make-or-break season for securing a second contract. The source frames his situation as a high-risk comeback story with uncertain upside, comparing him to Lance McCullers Jr. of the Houston Astros—a high-talent player who suffered repeated injuries and became a shell of his former self upon return. The violent nature of football means not every comeback story has a happy ending.
