I'm not sure why you think he is judgement proof. He certainly has earning potential, even if it's not in the league, he'll have to earn money doing something. He likely hasn't spent all of his signing bonus yet, and if he has, he probably has assets to show for it (though likely depreciating assets). He'll have to earn a living for most of the rest of his life. That leaves him open to garnishment.
Now, will the Seahawks get all of their money back? Not necessarily, but it's certainly not a definite no. But it is an important step to take. If players start to think they can take their signing bonus and just walk off, well, that would change things considerably.
