Have been wondering this given 1. Marcus announcing he’s staying and 2. Loss of what I would think are DL we’d have paid to stay.

I assume if the right NFL job opens next year, he's gone.

I’d be ok with Lea or Elko next.

It seems like we persuaded him to stick around at a cost, but given the interest, keeping him long term seems next to impossible.

2027 will be a rebuilding year with a new QB.

Again, he's looking for a decent team with a QB. That may not be available next year.

ND can take him. Maybe admin has loosened up on that, but that's always been the obstacle to getting undergrads in.
