When he went down like four games into the season?
I could see him coming for two seasons, and for a lower price tag, and playing and retiring.
I mean, it's kinda your- he's kinda at that point in his career where if he legitimately talks to his doctors, and his doctors say, "You know, you really shouldn't play," he could retire right now and still be a happy man.
Right.
He, he's made his money.
He went to Miami for the money.
It wasn't for the loyalty or anything like that.
He wanted the money.

Yeah.
Pretty- No, it is.
I'm, I'm, I'm spouting very low numbers, but, I mean, I can't imagine them I can't imagine them trying to offer him 10, 12 million dollars to come back for a season.
Right.
Yeah.
And he, like, like you just said, he's getting up there in age.
He's not gonna He's, he's got maybe one, two more years left in him gas-wise.
I mean, n- you know, I shouldn't say that, but because if he still feels good, I mean, he could play for another five, six years for all I know, but- Yeah ...
