The $1M signing bonus got him.
Thinking about this a little more, he could have taken that offer to Bob and said "Hey, this $1 Million is pretty cool, I don't think I can pass on it, they even offered protection from my contract with you and I think I have a pretty good case that I'm a free agent. So, what do you think?" That would force Bob to up the ante, while not burning his bridge. If he does, then he'd know Bob was bluffing on the "contract" He could have then gone back to the restaurant and see if GBP wants to bump up their offer. If they do ,then shit... that's a two year payday without even having throw a punch and if not his got a pretty good raise.
