Looks like Meyer won't cash out on his firing:

The Jaguars fired Meyer for cause with the intention of not having to pay him for the remaining four years of his contract, according to ESPN.
As PFT previously noted, a firing for cause will likely result in Meyer fighting the finding and trying to get the remaining pay that he thinks he’s entitled to. In the NFL, disputes like that stemming from coaches’ contracts typically have to be resolved by the commissioner.
That makes it awfully tough for Meyer to win. NFL Commissioner Rodger Goodell works for the owners, including Jaguars owner Shad Khan. Goodell would obviously prefer to keep Khan happy, because Khan is one of his bosses. Goodell couldn’t care less about keeping Meyer happy.
