Wonder if anyone will negotiate a big contract with him after Pittsburgh slaps the transition tag on him before next year. I kind of hope he signs a monster deal which Pittsburgh matches, that would be hilarious.

What "power" is he taking back?
I simply do not understand what he has done here.....his whole thing was he wasn't making enough money. He has said it for years and even made a rap song about it.
So he forfeits $14.5 million dollars that he will NEVER make back, loses a year of football and the benefits of being an NFL player which are substantial , and likely drove down his value to other teams.
It's just so counter productive to what this was all about to begin with,
