Instead, he plans to live in New York City, making 45-minute helicopter trips to games. Cost estimates suggest he could spend over $1 million annually on travel, amounting to nearly a quarter of his contract. Although these figures are projections based on chopper rates, they highlight the financial implications of his decision to avoid living in Philadelphia.
