From what I read, he got a 500k signing bonus, and has another 500k guaranteed unless he plays somewhere else. I personally think he knew he wouldnt be able to sign for anything other than the vet minimum and figured the 500k for not playing was better than only getting an additional 300-400k above that if he does play.

From a business standpoint, getting that much for nothing might make sense. But from a competitor's standpoint, I can't see that happening. Winfield all of a sudden felt like he can't play anymore? Unless he's hurt I don't believe it until he officially retires.
