I hear what you guys are saying about his comment about playing on the tag, but given the rest of his comments about winning vs money, this interpretation doesn't seem to match the rest of his narrative IMO.

Another possibility, which matches the rest of his narrative better to me, is that what he means is that if they tag him and don't give him the opportunity to look elsewhere then he will feel comfortable playing on that deal. In other words, he wants every dollar he can out of them or he wants to see what's out there. That's why he says we'll see what their decision is in March and we'll react from there. He wants out, and he's willing to make them pay if they won't let him, but that didn't mean he'd choose either year of this for the big pay off and forfeit his chance to find the right place for himself.

Edit: I just listened to the whole quote and am even more convinced of this. He is responding to whether or not he feels slighted being on the franchise tag because he isn't being committed to and he goes into the whole schpiel about first it was their choice and then it was mine, we will see what the choose to do now. He just wants out at this point, but he's a professional and will play here if he has to and them putting him on it is more about them wanting him than not wanting to commit to him. None of it sounds like he is daring them to tag him.
