He had a great situation, with a tailor-made scheme and a defense that would get him more opportunities and he passed the steelers offer (outside the tag) and ended up not playing on the tag that was the final attempt to keep him.
He is, to date, the only player to actually hold out and miss a season while tagged. At least I believe he is???
He got less yearly, but more guaranteed. The Steelers offer was 5 years, $70M with $10M guaranteed. He took the lower yearly for the higher guaranteed. That's what was important to him.
And yes, AFAIK, he is the only one to sit out completely on a tag.
