I'm going to choose the boring route and tell my GMs about the extra money. I pride myself on acting in an ethical manner and prioritizing the team, and I think these characteristics were part of why Colorado was interested in drafting me in the first place, so I certainly wouldn't want to act out of character. I believe the Colorado will continue to be a very good team, and I have Ultimus ambitions in the future (and hopefully it's something I can be a part of!). @Tesla and @SchwarzNarr are two of the kindest, most sincere people in the entire league, and I want to make sure we have the funding to continue building the team and replacing players who age out and retire. As I continue to get more and more involved with the league, I will be even more of an asset in the war room, helping us to identify free agent and draft class targets, and we will obviously need cap space to do that. Even though $4,000,000 might not seem like much, teams can sign some solid inactives free agents or draft picks with that money. Taking the money would also create a dangerous precedent and could lead to other players doing the same thing in the future.
