Now blow your money happily in Miami.

But since the team is on the hook now for the 3.4 mil, I'd work his lard butt into the ground between now and final cuts.  And then, if he was good enough to make the roster, I'd deactivate him every week unless he won a starting job.  The chump needs to be made an example for the lazy and disloyal.

Are we on the hook?   Maybe he's the one on the hook.  The $3.4 million is the last 2 years of a signing bonus that was paid him when he originally signed with the Dolphins.   So, we don't have to pay him anything, because he's already collected that $3.4 million.  

When we traded for him, we inherited the contract, which includes the right to reclaim the un-amortized portion of the signing bonus. 

So here's my question.   Since he has retired, and we put him on the reserve/retired list before he reported back to work, can the Jaguars actually MAKE $3.4 million from his retirement?   A PROFIT.   He owes us $3.4 million that the Dolphins paid him!  

because WE INHERITED THE CONTRACT!!!
