If he retires, they get millions in cap relief. If they trade him, they're apparently going to take an $18M cap hit that's pure dead money. Why on earth would they do that?

Then again, this is the Chargers so why should I expect any of this to make sense. If he gives them an ultimatum they should just call his bluff, let him retire. Then they can draft a QB and have some cap space to build around the new QB.

What's his ultimatum, though? Don't move the team? I think that's done at this point.

Trade me or I'll retire.
