But wait, this board told me no retired players could join a team after Week 12🙄

No retired player on the reserve/retired list can come back after week 12 because they were still under contract when they retired.  For instance, if the Rams wanted Donald back right now they would have to cut him because he's on the reserve/retired list and hope he clears waivers.  Bridgewater wasn't under contract with a team when he retired.

That's more than most people make in a year.

 

I am talking about it he played a whole season. But even so, 134K for 2 weeks of work is pretty great if you can get it.

 

 

beside the point

Your comment actually was since it has nothing to do with what I said.

League Minimum in a season for a vet with his number of years in the league is essentially 10 years salary for people with a 100K job

well, he's not.  so it's not a point worth making--he's not leaving/getting "QB money" that's "on the table". 

 

that's like saying, "had he not retired, he would be making millions per year"
