Could be that Herbig is waiting for an NFL draft grade eval before deciding. If the eval comes back as a high draft pick (first two rounds = guaranteed contract), I wouldn't blame him for jumping. Whether he goes or not doesn't change how I feel about his decision to not play. Shaw stated he is not injured and is choosing not to play, and singled him out in that respect. I'm reading a couple things into Shaw's statements:
1. Shaw is not happy with Herbig's decision. The tone reminds me of how he spoke of McCaffrey's decision.

Just relistened to the Shaw on-field presser.
"Shaw stated he is not injured and is choosing not to play" is not quite what Shaw stated. Shaw stated that Herbig won't be playing then said it was not injury related. There are other possibilities than choosing not to play, though I agree that is most likely.
It was clear that Shaw wasn't pleased.

2. The rest of the guys have significant injuries. The only one who Shaw said might play is Kaden Smith, who is a pretty sure bet to leave early and be a first-round pick.

I believe you are speaking of guys who might get drafted since that is the general theme here.
Shaw did say group Kaden Smith, Casey Toohill, and Mustafa Branch as players who might be able to play.
Strictly speaking he also said Sarell might be able to play, but he doesn't think so.
