He did also mention that is was full on backup or bust for him in the NFL. He mentioned somebody else who was given $1M to be a 3rd string, but then ended up being cut. Would have made coming back a little harder if teams already had their marquee player.

400-600 is not a lot of money when your playing window is so short. He should go all in for the money. Careers are short. Seems like he did take a bit less to stay but probably more about organization than "hometown".
