If he's smart, he should know that he can make up all of that $20M and more in just a few years with his new team. He still gets $10M for working out and staying in shape. Look long term and he has $200M waiting for him with his new team before he retires. Since he has a no-trade clause, he can pick his team. He'd make $20M in endorsements alone if he went to the JETS.
