Talking about money and seeing a handfull of QBs around the league restructuring their deals, is there any chance Zach does so as well? Shaving 100k off Zach's contract would definitely help bring some of the other guys back.

Nice to see Loudermilk is currently one of the most watched shows on Netflix. It seems that the show was a bit under the radar when it was just on Prime. Hopefully with this renewed interest in the show is the catalyst for them to finally get a 4th season off the ground.
