thats AH problem imo. he doesnt like the remainder of his contract. the DS and Vinny really screwed the pooch on this "lets get creative and take advantage of the no-cap year" thinking.

personally, id let him sit inactive for the next 2 seasons. no OTAs, preseason, etc. make that skins contract he signed and had no intention of honoring, his last contract. after 2 years of him sitting on his ass at home i doubt there would be much interest. might as well, he will be making pennies for the next few years since he already received the overloaded portion of his contract.

or AH could always opt out of the contract and pay back 17mil after this season if he truly wants to go to a 4-3 team and this isnt about the money he is set to make in the next few years. if he opts out he would have made about 18 mill for 2 seasons, thats fair compensation, then he is free to go and try and blackmail some other team.

of course, thats if his hissy fits are really about the 3-4 and not the fact that he thought he could get paid 32 mil for 14 months then force his way out of town and into a new contract.
