The $3.4 million has nothing to do with it, except maybe as a reason he un-retired.  We're on the hook for it as of his un-retirement. 

The downside of letting him work in camp is that we give the rest of the players the impression that they can just take a week off during training camp and come right back, and that their work the past week means nothing. 

It's like "We're going to have 5 straight practices in pads and see who's tough..." and then, "Hey, Brandon, welcome back."   What happened to accountability?
