Who says that his wife did not want him to play last year? With a home in the Tampa area, it meant a lot more work for her looking after all 7 Fitz Kidz during the football season, but my understanding is that Mama Fitz was 100% supportive of her husband and handled the situation really well. (I think I read an article last year how proud Fitz is of his wife just managing everything so well).He’s a Harvard grad. He’s still earning interest on his paper route income. Dude has zero concerns about money. His wife did not want him to play last year. I guarantee you there is pressure at home to opt out.
BTW - Ryan is a Harvard Economics graduate. He knows that his NFL years probably represent his best income generating years and he's set to make $8M more this year. Incidentally, Ryan's career earnings (over his first 15 seasons are $63,541,098 (per Spotrac).
