Larson’s plea came amid swirling speculation about his contract and long-term role with the team. “I’m taking a pay cut. I’m going to prove that I’m healthy. Let me stay and contribute,” Larson wrote, openly addressing concerns about his recent health struggles and affirming his dedication to the team.
