Speaking of the signing bonus money, that was paid by the Dolphins, not the Jags, so how can they recover any of it?

He retired so they're no longer obligated to pay his 2017 salary.
Apparently, he has guaranteed money that hit their cap with his retirement, so the Jags will take a Dead Cap hit unless they force Albert to repay it.
The moment he was traded to Jacksonville, all monetary obligations became theirs and not the Dolphins.
