Basically I don't think Nashville has to worry about the recapture penalty:

No incentive? 40 year old pro athletes certainly have an incentive to retire - their bodies are no longer responding to the grind of 80+ game seasons. Now consider that in the final three years of his deal Weber is owed $1,000,000 each year. That's 3 million dollars in three years off of a $110,000,000 contract. Do the math, he's practically playing for free in those three years relative to the money he'll have made.
