I’m a fan of this idea. Give him the time he deserves to learn the role and then let him roll next year.

He obviously has the raw talent and should have been moved to edge a few years ago. Let him learn the new role and he can be a stud next year and improve his draft stock.

I think they want to turn him into a hybrid edge like A Micah Parsons or even a form of what Arvel Reese is this year. I think we all would sign up for a rotation of Hicks, Pierce and Pettijohn next year

Exactly this. The kid has waited his turn and only late last year did he become vocal about things. Were it me? That would have been a long time before he did. He deserves everything you said and what @pnuts34 said below.

Ummm, yes please. I’m all for this one getting his time to really shine. I pray that the line this year stays healthy to allow for him to do this.

It seems like he was getting overwhelmed learning the position. Trying to turn a full time LB, into a hybrid edge/OLB/MLB. That's a lot to ask in 1yr

If CJ is on board with this I think another year of development could help both him and the team.

Ohio State can pitch Hicks (and Hartford) a “likely starter at Ohio State” NIL package next year, which is almost certainly more than they are projected to make if they entered the draft.

It’s like tapping your own team for a transfer portal player with a much, much cleaner NIL process.

It seems like a clear win-win for the players and team if everyone is on the same page.
