Hahaha I like that., but I’d tweak it a bit. I’d go ahead pay him when the bill is due and after week 1-6 try to trade him to a team (except the jets) who just lost their QB for whatever they can get.

Also after paying him., and prior to paying him. I would tell him stay home. We’re gonna pay you., go ahead and enjoy the darkness visits all you want., your services are not needed but we’re also not going to trade you to the jets. You were 90% going to retire and were 90% not trading you for peanuts. 10% will trade you for peanuts but only on our terms not when it’s convenient for you and your new team.
