This is why the whole situation is weird - why is he agitating for a new contract if he has 20m in the bank?

I agree if he was broke he would be playing.. but if he is flush why is he playing hard ball to get more money

EDIT: I also can't quite tell how career earnings is reported, I think it might include future cash under the current contract, so it's possible that 20m of those 50m "career earnings" might have been due in the 2024 season, of which he would have received zero so far.

Maybe because he only wants to risk head and body injuries on a daily basis if it's for an obscene amount of money.

Typically career earnings are reported strictly as cash earnings.

So if he has a signing bonus of $50 million, for instance, that's $50 million in earnings for that season even though it's not $50 million on the team's cap (yet).

So from what I can see he's actually been paid about $51-52 million in career cash earnings through salary and signing bonuses.
