One other question, could this hurt his chances for this year's draft?

TPM,
I don't believe the DFE status, alone, impacts one way or the other.
What impacts is the performance of that player this Spring. If he has played/performed well, then he has the leverage. The team with his rights knows they likely will lose that player in the draft if they don't sign him, so the price goes up, unless they have identified someone with equal or better talent at a lower price in the upcoming draft. On the other hand, if the player has not performed well in the DFE status, the team has all the leverage and will bargain accordingly.
BA has some articles last May/June on 3-4 DFE's who did very well and got a big bonus. Might be why DFE's are soon to be extinct.
