He wins? Sure he collects a little over 2 mil. He also loses 1/5 mil in bonuses (20% salary reduction) and the 22.5 million of the rest of his contract. He left in a mire of locker room and off field issues that will make other teams wary to pick him up and most likely sign him to only short deals ridden with performance incentives as opposed to outright salary and bonuses.
He lost his chance to be the Chiefs all time leading rusher, which probably hurts his ego more than any cash issues he faces hurts his wallet. He'll have to be lucky to be signed by another team, stay healthy and keep his mouth shut to make anywhere near the money he was going to get if he had done those things with the Chiefs...in essence he lost all his job security.
He may still be getting a little 'cake' from the Chiefs, but that alone doesn't make him a winner.
