re: I can't imagine Heard not being a starter next year

It's less about NIL and more about potential earning in the NFL, I think. He knows he would make more at LT, and he wants to play LT, and ge might be a great LT.....but Will Campbell is better, and as long as Campbell is there Heard has to play a different position and stunt his potential future play/earnings. I think it's less about the money now and instead about setting himself up for the future. These are hard decisions and he probably has many voices in his ear. I hope he stays...but I'm also not going to crap on a kid for making a decision that he feels is best for him and his future.
