I think you will get what you wish because I doubt Costello would come back unless he is assured he will have a fair chance to win his starting job back.

I am sure Shaw would tell you that everybody always has a "fair" chance to compete for a starting position. What that exactly means may be in the eye of the beholder. It is always going to be somewhat of a judgement call and certainly not totally objective.

I think KJ is in a bad spot right now. He probably wants to go into the draft, but since he was hurt, didn't play much this year, and didn't play great when he did, his draft stock is down from where it was even last year. I think he has to either come back or grad transfer. Either action has significant risks. KJ absolutely needs to play in 2020. The grad transfer route is possible only if he goes someplace he has a good ("fair") chance to play. May be hard to find such a place.

Mills probably also needs to play in 2020 for his own career reasons. Mills could survive not playing in 2020 and play in 2021, but the omniscient fan board assumption is that McKee will be ready then and take the job. It could be a bit of a log jam, with too many QBs. This assumes West has no chance to contribute, which may also be wrong.
