He may not get it all in one year, but it should be pretty close, and it's about the guaranteed money.

I haven't seen anyone bring up that point on here.

He had an option to sign a long term deal to "protect his future".  He passed on it.  There's always stupid owners, but I think that most will see that while he's very good, he also had the luxury of being on the same side of the ball as a HoF QB, AB, JuJu, and a stud line.
