Of course it wasn't. Why would he prefer $9 million over $30 million?
Well he was scheduled to make $15M this year with Oakland, the same he could max out at in NE. Then he becomes a UFA in the offseason and theoretically gets another 2-3 year deal with $30M + guaranteed. So it could end up a wash for him financially, if not an increase in pay.
You still have to factor in a potential injury or the possibility of him continuing to do something dumb or even declining in ability. That $30M was as good as gold in Oakland; not so much anymore.
If this was really his plan it was stupid. Especially since if he really actively worked to get released (as is being reported now) that would torpedo his grievance to recoup the guaranteed money from the Raiders. This smells of spin.
