Go look up what fines cost for not showing up to mini camp and training camp? $80k for missing mini camp and $40k\day missing training camp. With those fines it would have probably took all his salary for this year. Then we aren't even getting into him missing game checks and he would have had to return to the team by Week 10 so he wouldn't lose that year.
He literally couldn't afford to sit out.

He's made about 7.5 million to this point in his career he had no leverage to sit out at all.
