Whether he got any satisfaction out of the way the deal was crafted and knowing that he was hanging the majority of his salary this year on his former team is for him to know and not us.  Other than that, I’m not sure where your comments are coming from.

Not where he signed, how he signed.  

I've already said that's not what his market value would be but as you thoroughly explained with him the offsets he was getting 6.5 regardless , nobody was gonna pay over that for 2019. 

He chose the best fit for him with a contending team he has personal relationships with and also happens to be near where he trains every summer + has a offensive hotshot HC who can develop him (if at all possible). GM of the rams is best pals with David Caldwell too. I don't think any sticking it to the Jags narrative applies

He could do what you mention above for the reasons you mention and could have done it under a completely different type of deal.  He’s taking on some risk here with a 1 year deal that he probably didn’t have to take on if he didn’t want to.

I’m not telling you what I think is in his mind, but he did hang us with the bill and decided to shoulder additional risk in the process. At face value, his new deal stuck it to the Jags. No need to speculate on his thinking or whether he was taking any level of personal satisfaction in it which is what I think you’re really arguing against.
