So Jaromir Jagr does rest. And isn't always asleep for selfies.

Shortly after signing a one-year deal to return to the Florida Panthers - a contract that will make for a 28th season of pro hockey - Jagr traded in his weighted vest for a beach towel, and used a selfie to explain his rationale.

Facebook translates Jagr's caption to: "In Florida we love it. That's why I'm glad I made a deal with the Panthers on the renewal of contracts for another year."

Jagr will earn at least $4 million next season in a bonus-laden agreement that will see him play through his 45th birthday.
