It's a dumb place to go for success. Not if he wants to make a big salary and not get pressured I suppose. And I suppose the opportunities for his wife are not far off of NYC.
EDIT: Just saw this is for just a 2 year contract? Dear me.

I expect he would have happily gone to TB or FLA instead, but they didn’t have the cap space to extend him.
When it comes to chances to win, players don’t really rank teams very granularly. There are a handful of contenders at the top, some crappy/rebuilding teams at the bottom, and then everyone else is roughly equivalent.
