True, but I think more important to him will be, he'll miss out on all the money. By doing it he'd be giving up something like $1.6 million just for 2004...not to mention whatever red flags he suffers from in 2005 free agency for being a holdout etc. He'll have to balance all those losses against the chance that he suffers an injury in 2004 or has a sub-par years because those would also hurt his 2005 free agent status. Reminds me of the situation in Jerry Mcguire where Rod Tidwell gets a p!ss poor contract offer from the Cardinals and Jerry is like, if you don't sign it, and you get injured this year....you get nothing....nothing at all on the market next year. If Miami really has an interest in keeping good relations with him and having him play his heart out they should pay him the $1.8 million base plus toss on a few hundred thousand more as a premium on an injury insurance policy that would compensate him millions if he suffered a season-ending injury that would hurt his free agent status.
