NFL Insider Jordan Schultz dropped that bootay's name is floating in those same combos, like Team C-Hemes trade bait, if Brown lands in Fattaburo.

But Mike Rabel shut that down quick, saying it's all voluntary and he respects Booth for communicating ahead of time. Rabel kept it real, noting players miss for all kinds of reasons, and the team just wants these sessions to feel worth it. No direct tie to trade buzz, but timing suspect with Brown rumors swirling. Dig deeper. Booth's got just one year left on his deal, then he's free agency gold.
