If Google is correct and I understand it correctly since he's a PS call up he's only going to be making the prorated amount of the league minimum for a vet, which is ~$75K/game. For any week that he's not activated from the PS he'll make $17.5K-$22K that week, which is the range for a PS player w/ >2 years of service time.

So re-upping the health insurance for another 5 years w/ all of the kids that he has makes more sense from a financial incentive standpoint.

That's good. Smart. I hope he doesn't get injured out there.
