There is no reason to assume anything to do with a players SPC will change unless it comes out otherwise. That is the main point some of us are trying to make. So until some breaks some news saying that NMCs on expiring contracts do not need to be protected it only makes sense to assume that part of their contract will still be valid and they will need to be protected.
