‘Throughout the process, maybe the last few weeks or so, I’ve been in constant communication with Buddy talking things out, trying to figure out some sort of solution to the roster bonus, the salary and all that. This isn’t something that all of a sudden was thrown at me, I was blindsided by it, this is something that we talked about for a week or two. It was a lot of just private conversations. It was nice for it to be kind of left between me and him and not played out through the media. It stinks. I really did enjoy being a Buffalo Bill, and unfortunately we couldn’t get anything worked out.’
