    Huh? No, it was a special NFLPA/NFL provision negotiated for last season and all indications are it won't be allowed this season.  You can retire, but you can't press the "pause" button on your contract and collect $150,000.

     

    Must be wrong - I thought I remembered Eric Berry had a chance opt out for a season because of his cancer diagnosis but he was able to return regardless.

    Jerry Hughes is the one who can be cut with significant cap savings.  This is the last year of his contract, so he can be cut with $6.3M of cap savings.

     

    Thought of that too but Hughes is our best DE and produces extremely well even at his age. Not sure that $6.3 million could be spent better than on Hughes. Good point on Addison - I think he's on the roster for sure.

     

    Going to come down to Johnson or Obada - maybe one get's dealt for a mid-rounder.

    You make all these claims and have zero proof of it.

     

    245 years of proof that has built up to the systemic racism we see today

     

    Slavery

    Jim Crow

    Internment

    KKK

    Dante Wright

    Rayshard Brooks

    Breonna Taylor

     

    Could go on for awhile.

     

    Go Bills - enjoy your racism free life

    See you keep changing subjects here.  You called it the underbelly of society or something these people that act racist in their basement but apparently normal during the day. 

     

    Where did I say this? Re-read the quote below. I'll bold, italicize, and underline the part that continues to go over your head.

    Some of those same folks are cops, doctors, paramedics, etc. To think they automatically stop their implicit bias on the job is laughable. 

     

    That's the dark underbelly of racism that makes this country racist.

    we were talking about the people who only did it in their basements.

     

    Are we? Or is that what you constantly refer back to because you won't answer the question - 

     

    How can minorities be treated equally if some of those in power have implicit bias against them?

    So publily they're supporting policy that helps minorites but at home they're racist.  So in the end minorities are treated equally but some ass is sitting at home pouting about it but doesn't actually hurt minorities?  That's quite an argument.  Not exactly sure what to do with that.  It's like a fantasy land for someone who is desperate for racism to exist.   That's part of the problem.  People seem to want it to exist more than it actually exists.

    This is an oversimplification. Every racist is not sitting at home pouting about it. Racists have been actively involved in anti-American and anti-black groups such as the KKK, Proud Boys, etc. They signed bills supporting equal rights, then put on their hoods and lynched at night.

     

    How can minorities (please spell it correctly if you're going to present an argument about them) be treated equally if some of those in power have implicit bias against them? 

     

     

     

    I'll ask again - How can minorities (please spell it correctly if you're going to present an argument about them) be treated equally if some of those in power have implicit bias against them?

    Now, all these Dr's, lawyers, paramedics as you said are doing this in private but in public are acting like a normal person should.  So they really have no effect on a minority person do they?  

     

    Keep your head in the sand
