Thanks for your thoughts. 

Two notes ....

1 Are you SURE Zion met his checks? I didnt see any report on that either way. And based on his history and his extended idleness last season, I figured he didnt make it. 

2 He has 3 years left on his deal with limited-to-no guarantees on each following season by what happens in each season. So a team isnt necessarily only on the financial hook for 1 season. A later bump in guarantees is actually probably a desirable outcome for whoever has him -- it means he got in shape and played most games - but the lawsuit and allegations add a layer of potential ugliness to the equation.

I also saw a very recent article saying that he did meet the criteria, but I can't find it now.
