Why not? NFL scouts and all have already said that this mess won't affect his stock.
Scouts have said his money-making business does not affect his stock. I haven't heard anybody make predictions as to what would happen with his stock if he left...now. I'm by no means an expert when it comes to draft value, but I see 2 problems with him leaving early:
1) Brings his character into question...the ability to finish the drill and not be a quitter. For me, that's more of a character issue than accepting money from a memorabilia dealer, but I also realize that's just my own opinion and scouts may not care.
2) He loses experience/gametime/training. Quit now and training ends, immediately. No more practice. No more games. Any training from that point on is done on his own watch, with his own money, and NFL scouts are to take his word for it.
If leaving early doesn't hurt a player's stock, why don't more high value picks leave mid season...or bow out the last few games?

Awesome reply.
But, we have no facts to base things on, just speculation and rumors. If some of the amounts are true or there is a whole lot more to it than we know, then the four game suspension (if lucky) would leave, what two games left?
No one can fault him for leaving in that case - any added stats from here on out are meaningless. Only TG and the admin knows the truth, and maybe it won't be pretty. I can't blame the team for using him in practice, especially this week.
The only real reason for coming back (using the four or game suspension scenario) would be if he were to play next year.
His character has nothing to do with it, and if it did, one can't discount his blatant disregard for both the rules and his team. Some on here will disagree with that, and those are the same ones who think he shouldn't be punished for knowingly breaking a rule (however stupid it may be) in the first place. All in the name of winning a game.

The longer the suspension, the more the line blurs between "should he stay or should he go" for sure.
Here's to a 2 game suspension and 3 post-season games, not 1 or 2.

Scouts have already seen enough of TG to know he is the real deal. He will be a first round pick regardless of the outcome of this whole debacle.
They don't care about autograph gate. He is not a idiot like Winston so no character issues or that kind of baggage to be concerned about.
And as far as the suspension is concerned, they see it as keeping some mileage off the vehicle before it is delivered to the NFL.
