But if he does walk for nothing then they really screwed the pooch on handing this situation.

That's a pretty poor way to enter a trade. If your trade partner knows you can't afford to pay the contract they definitely are in the drivers seat from a negotiating stand point. The only way they should use the tag is if they truly can and are willing to pay it. It also ruins your ability to negotiate with other FAs because it knocks 30M off the top of your cap space.
