I don’t believe anyone ever suggested where he signed is sticking it to the Jags.  If you think his market value, all things being equal, would have been 1 year $1 million that’s actually laughable.  If you realize his market value should have indeed been more than that, then by definition his new deal is sticking it to the Jags as they are largely paying him to be the back up in LA this year.

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
