Bowlen OWES that to him , since he FIRED him-that's what having a contract is all about.

He won't be taking less, he's making $7 mil next year and the two after that whether he works in the NFL or not. He's OWED that.
I understand that exactly. You don't seem to. Let's spell it out:

- Shanahan does nothing - collects $7 million.
- Shanahan signs to coach Chiefs for $3.5 million - collects $7 million (Bowlen makes up the difference and their friendship is ruined)
- Shanahan signs to coach Chiefs for $7.5 million - collects $7.5 million (all from the Hunts, Bowlen grins and bears it)

Now, what's in it for Shanahan to take the second option?
