that 21 mil check in april was guaranteed in the contract he signed with vinny at the helm, bruce had no way of making that 21 mil not guaranteed or not payable ... the skins had to pay him that money no matter what.

Mike met with AH right before that 21 mil was due and told AH that the skins would out right release him (so he could go to a 4-3 team) if he waived the 21 mil but if he accepted the 21 mil that Mike expected AH to report to camp and due whatever the skins asked him to do, including his joke about playing safety.

AH accpeted the money, the rest is history . . .

Now AH restructered his contract to make approx 1.5 mil this year and he isnt in camp. You know what I think . .he wants a new contract that wil pay him 8 plus mil a season. I guessin AH is waiting for the pats roster to be finalized before he and the pats talk about how much room they have to pay him in a new contract.
