We’re talking about a 1 day contract not a season. It’s ceremonial.

A gateway contract which could easily lead to a longer contract. Next thing you know he’s doing cocaine off strippers in Dallas.

And he will ceremoniously say - “oh NOWWW you want me to sign a contract, no thanks”

Exactly.

the article says that he left because the patriots wouldn’t give him a multi year contract that would allow him to retire with the team. I’d imagine he feels slighted
