Yeah but put it in the context of your current job, not $1 million.
If you had enough $ to retire, and going to work caused a terribly painful rash, would you show up for 25% of your salary?
I don't know how the league can really fight this. Would it be different if he was retiring/LTIR because of a Cronic knee pain? Back Pain?
Of course he was willing to put up with more pain for more $$. But that in itself doesn't make it cap circumvention. You can't force the player to play through an injury (which this is deemed as)
