"I feel very confident that we'll be able to work out something with him for a long-term solution fairly soon, I think. It's just a matter of time," Blank told WZGC-FM in Atlanta on Monday. "You can't do all these big deals all at once. Not even for financial reasons, but they take time. Each one takes a fair amount of work from a research standpoint. There's a lot of up-and-back. I think the relationship we have with the player is critical. It was with Desmond [Trufant], it'll definitely be that way with Devonta and it'll be that way in the future with any of our other players as they come up."
