If he signs the tender and gets hurt, no big deal; the tender is fully guaranteed. So he's not holding off on signing the tender because he doesn't want to risk the $12 million. Moreover, it's not because he's hoping that a deal can be worked out and he doesn't want to injure himself and put that in jeopardy - the negotiating period is over. What he gets this year is absolutely set in stone.
This is all about next year. A man that's been paid $60 million by this organization and due another $12 million is already looking down the road to the team that will be willing to give him another $30+ million a year from now and in so doing, he's telling this organization that he's unwilling to fully dedicate himself to this team because somebody else will pay him later.
**** him. That's horseshit and I don't see how that doesn't bother you.
