Sorry those of you who wanted him gone ...

I don't think it's that hard to assume that someone high in the Packer's organization called JS's agent or JS himself, considering the background he has with the team, to gauge interest before contacting the Seahawks in "public". It happens all the time before free agency with the players, why not with a GM?
I would think it's more probable than not that there was an off-the-record conversation.
It's the word "must" ... you said JS "must" have initiated contract and that's simply not in evidence. But then of course you seem to have rethought that in light of the content of this post.

If he was ask to and agree to sign a contract that didn't have an 'out' clause, like his first one, It doesn't matter from that point on if he wants that job or not. I'm sure he was compensated for that choice, too, within the new contract.

There's nothing worse than an unmotivated employee. It spreads like a disease throughout the business.
That's why I think it was his decision not to interview and the team took the hit as the bad guy.
This leaves him the chance to interview for that job if it comes up again in the future without having any baggage.
