Would love to have him back though because he's probably your Sunday starter if he comes back.
I guess it depends on how far down the draft board he goes versus what kind of NIL we would pledge to him. If they are fairly equal then he doesn't really lose anything coming back even with no leverage next year. As good as he was the last half of this past season I could still see him being a weekend starter for us if he comes back. He was our best starter at the end of the year.
