He wasn’t close to burnt out. He protected his stock price and literally forced his way out to do so. He wanted that next contract. He got it, now it doesn’t matter what happens really. I’m now leaning it was about money and not his legacy. Because it makes more sense this way. Had he sat out for three years, then it was burnout. He knew he couldn’t build in Nola. He was headed for 7-9 x 3. At least with Denver he’ll be 7-9 x 3. But a ton richer in the process. If he selectively “burns out“ in NOLA after 3 x 7-9. His street value is a one year prove it deal. He chose correctly so it is what it is.
