If it was strictly money, he doesn't worry at all about that stupid 4th year on the deal that everyone knows he'll never see. But the headlines and the prestige mattered to him.
It was ego. And that's fine - anyone ever think Tyreek was the most humble dude out there? He's played with a chip on his shoulder for most of his career. I'm fine with that.
But he made the choice he made and it's time to move the **** on, dude. Let it go.

Yeah I don't think it was as much about $$ either. Although from an ego standpoint I think it was more about showing he could carry an offense and wasn't dependent on mahomes. He's proven he can so I think he got what he wanted out of this
