Congratulations on the offer. Obviously they want you.
On one hand, there's a lot to recommend putting off the start of your career. On the other, if you're already awesome as a rising junior, you'll probably not be any less awesome as a graduate and have opportunities at that point. For me, the kicker is that you cannot get into the program you want at your university, and studying something that you don't love borders on tragedy [in the large, not on a class by class basis].
However, unless the employer is paying for the immigration attorney, I'd be skeptical of the prospects just based on my lay person's reading of the TN Visa requirements [1] and the description of the plan of attack as a loophole and the next step as an H1 visa.
