And if you think he signs a contract that gives the jets his money, I dont know what to say to that? Don't you think he would structure the contract so that he gets vet min in 2013 and say 1.5 of a 5mill contract guranteed for 2014. This way he keeps the money?
Third, the idea that he would trade guaranteed money for a chance at 2014 dollars to me is absurd. If he recovers and plays in 2013 to his previous level the jets either pay him his existing contract in 2014 or he walks and gets another SB with another team. If the jets don't think he is worth the money in 2014 why would another team? So he is best served by keeping his guarantee. The guy suffered an injury that may end his career, he needs every dollar than he can get, not promises.
