The contract he signed is panicky and sloppy. No signing bonus, no frontloading.

Meredith had family there, and it was northeastern US. That sealed it.
Sure he could have done all those things and it would've landed him a better contract in a place that he had the time to scope out and look into thoroughly over days/weeks if needed, but I guess this is how he does his business.
