I cut the cord right before the Superbowl this year. Depending on where he is at and what sports he watches, he may miss watching a lot. Espn+ shows very little live sports (the one included with Disney+). If he watches a lot of sports, he might end up paying more than cable going with all the streaming services and what sports they offer.
Over the air antenna is only going to get him a handful of games in select sports, for example Monday night football is on ESPN (not ESPN+) and the only way I can watch those games is by streaming on the NFL or Yahoo Sports app.
