It would only cost him 1/4th of his signing bonus.
Because he is perfectly capable of engaging in those kind of team building activities, I don't think anyone is going to give him anything up front that they aren't willing to see zero return on.

RiggoRules nailed it. The new agreement hurts TO more than anyone, because it removes the kind of control a team might use to keep a lid on things. Teams were already thinking the "what to do if ..." scenarios. Now the risks are even higher.
