It all depends on the money. There is a lot of money on the line here. Ben just signed an extension.
Ben has cashed the $37 mil signing bonus, so the remaining guaranteed money his 2019 roster bonus ($5 mil) and 2019 salary ($2.5 mil).
If he shut it down for good, he would forfeit the 2020 roster bonus ($12.5 mil) + ($8.5 mil salary), and 2021 roster bonus ($15 mil) + ($4 mil salary)...so all told, about $40 mil.
