Your reading comprehension is really bad. The threat was that if Jager walked away from Nike Cap would let Sol and Teg go.

Pretty much he used Jager's friends as pawns against him in order to resign their top steepler for a major reduction.
I'm not a Nike fan at all, but this sounds like a normal negotiation tactic. You say, hey, I only have so much money to spend on this group, so if I give it all to you then the others have to go. Jager could have called the bluff, if he was willing to walk out.
