Poor dude, victimized by Morey and Dolan. http://espn.go.com/new-york/nba/story/_/id/8137020/jason-kidd-says-chance-win-mentor-jeremy-lin-factored-decision-join-new-york-knicks
Looks like JKidd told the Knicks "I'm done you don't have to pay me". Didn't expect that, walking away from 6M for a team as rich as the Knicks when it wouldn't have affected their cap space much is a pretty nice gesture. http://theknicksblog.com/knicks/how-jason-kidds-retiring-affects-the-knicks-salary-cap-situation/
