$2,893,772 In his current contract.

Why should he have played for free in 2017?

If he has the skills to be an NFL quarterback, they will be developed better by NFL coaches than by ND coaches.

No one is blaming Kizer for leaving.

But it's clear he wasn't quite ready, and Kelly was right. I always got the sense that Kizer was a good kid and I'm rooting hard for him to succeed. Seems like a much better situation to be in in GB.
The only thing clear is that he played for the Browns. *

He said that Kizer should have stayed. Sounds exactly like he was blaming him for leaving.

He wasn't going to get more ready playing another season for Kelly and likely would have further regressed, or worse gotten hurt.

Kelly was right only due to not having a clue how to develop

a QB. That is, no QB has been ready under Kelly's development. So saying Kizer wasn't ready was a truism. He should have continued the statement to say "and I have no idea how to get him ready, so he is better off in the NFL."
Kelly would have completely ready to play

and Kizer would have become an ace at running qb iso, qb power, and qb counter.
