NIL not a big enough carrot to stick around one more year? Its the NFL or bust for a lot of guys and more often than not its bust.

Wouldn't be surprised if other players followed. Take advantage of a special

Hopefully we don't follow the path of TCU after their special season

If there is a position we need to look to in the portal, it will be WR... Lassiter, Roberts, Hill be nice to pick up at

Hopefully he doesn't end up with the Jets

Who will be in a rebuild again with a QB they ship off before his contract is up

He should. Great player and older due to serving a mission.

I agree, as long as you're pretty sure you can get drafted. I expect Roberts is

Good. An early draftee will help us recruit two solid WRs

And we would all wish him the best, he is having a whale of a season.

I hope he will listen to coaches and not agents. Too many of these guys end up not getting drafted. With NIL money...

Probably smart if you have NFL aspirations

That does suck and it's going to be a big loss... but I think Cody Hagen will be every bit the player that Chase was

If you shrunk Chase Roberts from 6'4, 210 lb down to 6 ft 1 185 lb, & everything

6'4 WR with Chase's skills are hard to find, he is a true gem

Cody is going to be quicker that Chase, no?

I would like to compare their shuttles, etc. I bet Chase is faster 40+ yards.

Hagen's a 10.5 100 guy. He definitely has that on Chase if nothing else.

he should, he is old and has been here forever….it will be his best chance.

He will likely ask for a draft evaluation first

This is good news. Recruits come if they see a path to the NFL. Transfer portal

He's having a similar season to Puka's senior year. I could see Roberts drafted in the 4th or 5th round.

Because after a certain point, you can't really boost your draft stock anymore

MaximusMeridius

So that you'll have a better chance of signing a second contract.
