He is having fun because he knows now he will get paid and have the option to sign where he sees fit. Not solely because he loves this city and team.

I honestly believe that the likelihood of him resigning here is less than 20%.
Agree with most of what you said, except a good agent would be telling him that there isn't 31 other teams than can sign him because of their own cap situations, so his realistic group is more like 8-10 and many are bottom feeding teams like Buffalo.
