Yep. Kess priced himself out a few months back...& he'll be smart to keep on doing so until Joe retires.
Kess needs to unify with Beyer.
Beyer was another name being thrown about & from what I understand Joe's people were a bit interested...but Beyer's cut like fwock from this past weekend...so I imagine he's out.

Miranda needs to use his head & stay focused on someone he might have a shot at competing with...Abraham.

This would be a huge step backwards IWO unless Taylor or Wright moved up...Joe has issues with making 168 from what I have read...he'd kill himself with a dig further down.
