can it? i read...

Failure to exercise the options means that Seymour's base salary for 2007 goes from $600,000 to $19.26 million, all of it guaranteed, and that he becomes an unrestricted free agent after the '07 season.

which means it is not really an option... no one gets a $19M guaranteed salary... that's a fake, ty law clause to help the agents puff up their "deal"
