I can't imagine us picking up the fifth year of that deal if given the choice, but if he's injured, are we obligated to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDermott thought the question was regarding a ligament tear. Benjamin does indeed have a torn meniscus.

He's here next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Now they confirm it IS a torn meniscus... 1 minute ago, dave mcbride said: I don't profess to know the details, but I thought that if he was traded, the team trading for him had a choice.

I think he did, and I think he has one. McDermott apparently just said he thought he heard torn ligament when asked earlier and said report was inaccurate. Probably out this week.

Jamie Nails Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 The Bills actually can cut him after the season and not be on the hook for the 5th year option. Just because Carolina picked up, we’re not obligated or on the hook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the way i understand it. The 5th year option is guaranteed for injury preventing the player from playing the 5th year, but absent injury the team is free to rescind the offer. At least that is how I interpret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically not but it depends on severity - I’ve seen 1-3 weeks or 3-4 weeks. It’s already been 1 week so they will see if/when he can practice from here on out.

You are correct. Only guaranteed against injury. We can release him if we wish. Doubt it happens but possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
