Carson Beck recently made the decision to transfer instead of declaring for the draft. He's reportedly going to get a multi-million NIL deal from Miami to replace Cam Ward. Ewers would have commanded even more money as a transfer, far more than he'd expect to make as a rookie quarterback in the NFL.

For a brief moment in time on Wednesday many thought it was a possibility Bill Belichick might stiff UNC and return to the NFL for the 2025 season. A report surfaced that several teams inquired whether Belichick had interest in returning to the NFL sidelines including Tom Brady’s Las Vegas Raiders.
