After that he will tell all teams he will simply play baseball. He will use his leverage to plan his landing spot for the best possible outcome versus going to a shit team.
I think I remember seeing where he said he wants $15 mil guaranteed from the A's to forgo the NFL draft. I can see him giving it a year or two in the NFL, then going back to baseball. Depending on where he's drafted, the offset language in his contract will be interesting.
