Under the CBA, the Pats will ask for the money paid to be returned. If he refuses they go to arbitration. I suspect he will return the money because I can guarantee a loss in arbitration. He has earned almost $40m over the course of his career and the NFL has pretty good retirement plan so it's not like he should need the cash.
The NFL has a terrible retirement plan and whether he will keep the money or not depends entirely on the way the contract was worded. If the money was guaranteed carte blanche then he'll keep it.
I don't know why people get so hung up on someone else's money.
