I feel like if ATL truly is his "home" team, as is being reported, the longer this plays out the more likely it has to be NO. If it's a wash he'd go with his rooting interest, hands down. People only agonize over things like this when they're conflicted and really don't want to make the choice they know in their gut that they have to make.
...or he's a media ***** who is just happy his name is being connected with something other than sexual misconduct and he wants to carry on with this reprieve for as long as he can.
