Rick's "limp ass" routine is merely a ruse, lulling Negan into a comfort zone via false submission. This season will be an
important one, featuring events that lead up to the (excellent) 'All Out War' storyline -- Michonne and Maggie eventually becoming queens of their respective kingdoms, Negan folding about as easily as a wet tissue (and having a tiny penis), Eugene - believe it or not - assuming the role of tech wizard and man-at-arms, Rick losing his hand, etc. Hopefully by season 9 the show will be getting around to the 'Whisper War', then things get
really fucked up.....
