I mean, this wouldn't apply in the case of Revis, who has only three accrued seasons, but what if a guy like Tom Brady could pay the Patriots back the pro-rated portion of his signing bonus and become a free agent? Just be like, "thanks guys, but you can keep my 4 million salary this year. I can do better than that." Would probably fix a lot of market inefficiencies for players.

very interesting points to ponder.
