On the one hand, he wants to make as much money as possible. On the other hand, he doesn't want to go to Cleveland :). Probably no way to control his destiny here, unless he pulls an Elway somehow. Darnold is also an interesting case. Most people think he would benefit from returning to USC. However, that might put him in danger of being drafted by a real bad team the year after. Maybe if he goes this year he is the 3rd QB drafted and has some hope of not getting forced to play behind a real bad OL. How much is that worth? It will be interesting to see what he does as well.
