Why is no reporter asking why Higbee was on the trade block barely 9 months ago??

(On TE Tyler Higbee’s new contract and what he means to the team)
“He’s really important. Versatility from that tight end position is paramount. His ability to be able to make plays in the pass game, be able to compete on the line of scrimmage in the run game, do some different things protection-wise. We ask a lot of our tight ends, in terms of the versatility and his ability to play on all three downs and be competitive with whatever we ask him, is a really important part of this offense. He’s a great leader. He’s a guy that is really been instrumental in the development and growth of helping with (TE) Gerald Everett. When you’ve got a guy in your room that, that’s what it looks like to do it right, I think those two have a great relationship. He continues to grow, so really happy for Tyler.”

(On if it was a priority to keep Higbee on the team considering he’s been a part os the nucleus of the team)
“It was. It’s a priority for our team. When you look, these decisions are what you try to project and try to get ahead of some of those things. It’s a great job, (Agent of TE Tyler Higbee) Erik Burkhardt, our group being able to work in unison to be able to get something done. It’s a good reflection of two parties working together and then Tyler, obviously, earning the deal based on what he’s done on the field and the way he’s handled himself here and overall.”

We tried to TRADE Higbee for a 6th and couldn't get it....from any team. A lowly 6th rounder...and now Higbee is the 10th highest paid TE??
what gives, man??? Why don't the reporters ask about the change of mind/heart??? It seems that it'd be a great story how a player on the trade bubble that no one wants...gets himself together and the team changes it's tune and pays him millions!!!! It seems there would be a great story there.
