If he does this, which that is still up in the air a bit for a couple weeks as we head into spring ball/draft, then he is willing to go play baseball if need be. There are plenty teams who want him and many believe he was better than many of the 1st round picks last year, and almost all but Haskins this year. He is actually leveraging this on the other side as well. He is actually forcing MLB to have discussions about finding ways to pay him more money than he is owed to stay and play for the A's.
He isn't "Stupiding" himself out of anything he has a guaranteed 4.6 million in the bank right now. If he can arrange himself into a better NFL situation for more money,great. If he can leverage MLB into paying him more money than he is due, great. If the worst thing that comes out of this is he has to keep his 4.6 million dollars and be a top prospect in baseball then I'd say we should all be so lucky to "stupid" ourselves into such a situation.
...and by the way he is universally considered a 1st rounder by most "experts". Obviously, those experts have been wrong before but very few have him falling below 15.
So he's playing games with both sides. Yeah, people love that shit. Is he your hero or something?
