If he uses it to create a media circus and dominate the news cycle again, then he really is a Brett Favre-level doucher.
Edit: Upon further review, you are correct on it being done this way with an eye on the future, but I still stick by my statement, if he makes it a whole shitshow again, then he's a douche.
TV rights are going to be renegotiated in 2 years. The salary cap and therefore the max contract numbers are supposed to go up quite a bit, a 2 year deal makes sense. The opt out after one does seem odd.
When the new TV deal is done, and then can sign a long term deal when the cap goes up to about $80 million. He's a lot of things, but he's not dumb enough to fuck Cleveland twice. He cares too much about his legacy, and it will be completely ruined if he were to do that again.
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is - Winston Churchill
