Without getting into all the details an nuances, does this accurately sum up the situation here?

1. Dawkins believes Stanford owes him more money for firing him than Stanford has said it will pay.

2. Stanford is trying to use Dawkins' new job (compensation) as the basis for not paying Dawkins the additional amount he feels he deserves.

3. The $5MM damages sought are pretty much a negotiating ploy to get Stanford to settle the case for what Dawkins believes he is rightfully owed, to give Stanford a way out to feel like it "won" by not having to pay the $5MM in damages.
