It'll be interesting to see if Coughlin goes after the money.

I'd bet Shahid Khan couldn't care less but Coughlin is a cranky old bastard.
I wonder how that works? If he wants to come back, then his salary still counts against their cap right? They have to release him to free up the cap space. I mean, they can't just hold his rights, keep him from signing anywhere else, and not have him count against them in some way I wouldn't think. Plus, if he is trying to come back, can the team really have a chance at recovering the signing bonus money? Speaking of the signing bonus money, that was paid by the Dolphins, not the Jags, so how can they recover any of it?
