FAMILY.......AND MONEY. His wife supposedly told him, 'I am going to our new house in N.C., you can come if you want or stay here.' His daughters are in sports and he wants to spend time with them b4 it is too late. It is actually a good time for him to take a year off. Then he can come back and go to the highest bidder, if he does come back. He can pick out where he lives. Maybe Atl., maybe Carolina Panthers.
