I wouldn't surprise me at all, if all that time he missed in the offseason, disputing his contract, hurt him. Let's look at this from a business stand point.
Had he gone to offseason training camp, then it's a possibility, he would have been more ready for the season and increase his chance for a big payday. Instead, he gambled, currently looks bad and likely is out of a job.
