Quote:There will come a point where he's either going to get reinstated, or he's going to walk away from the game all together.  If that happens, it wouldn't surprise me one bit to see the team go after any bonus money that is unearned under the terms of the contract. 

 

 

Exactly.  He's still considered an active player as far as the NFLPA is concerned, so he is subject to all of the terms of that agreement.
 

This just makes my point. If he doesn't want to play football any more, it's to his own benefit to just do nothing. As long as he is still 'rehabilitating' the Jags can't get back any money, and he keeps the benefits of being in the NFLPA. The Jags can't get back any money if he spends it all before they get tired of waiting.


 

Like everyone here, I hope he really is spending this time constructively, and gets reinstated. I don't think the odds of that happening are very good.
