I figured he would get offered low money somewhere, but now it looks like he can't even get that.
Iiirc, it was a weird mutual option. If he had opted in, they still could have cut him with no guaranteed $. It wasn't a true player option. He knew they were never actually going to not cut him, so he might as well pretend he's the one who's making the decision.
