Mize's leverage would be that Detroit wasted their first round pick this year

To try and get a $500k bonus bump, let's look at how much he stands to lose if he returned to school and slipped just inside RD1

#3 - loses ~$500k ** Tigers get #2 pick so they won't draft him again
#5 - loses ~$1.5mil
#10- loses ~$3.0mil
#20- loses ~$4.5mil
#30- loses ~$5.25mil




Sure, Mize could threaten to be an absolute moron, but if he isn't a moron he is playing a game of chicken. A game where he is driving a Toyota Corolla vs a monster truck
