KollegeStudnet Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Eric Wood will always be a Bill. Hopefully he comes back to the team as an ambassador.
KD in CA Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Bummer; one of most likeable guys on the team over the years. Best wishes to him. Add OL to the high priority list in the draft.

MJS Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 23 minutes ago, GG said: It would depend how the salary guarantee is structured. If it's an insurance payout then it probably doesn't count against the cap. But if the Bills agreed to fully guarantee the 2018 salary against injury for a 30+ vet AND paid him a $6.5 million bonus, then it's a gross mismanagement of the cap. The only qualification would be that in exchange for agreeing to guarantee 2018, Bills have the right to claw back the unearned bonus, so they'll be cap neutral in 2018. Ultimately none of it matters that much. The Bills have plenty of space and can easily make more. Nothing they did is "gross mismanagement" of the cap. So get off your soap box.

Careful that you don't slip off your soap box with that wet argument.

The more reports that come the more angry I get. Someone has some explaining to do. 57 minutes ago, OldTimeAFLGuy said: ...interesting....Graham claims Wood was retiring regardless........ Bills C Eric Wood is retiring from the NFL after nine seasons. A neck injury is partly to blame for Wood calling it quits, though the Buffalo News' Tim Graham reports Wood was going to hang the cleats up regardless. Wood was the 28th overall pick in the 2009 draft and spent all nine of his seasons in Buffalo, making the playoffs for the first time this past season. He made 120 career starts and was a one-time Pro Bowl selection in 2015. It's a big loss from a leadership standpoint as well. Ryan Groy makes sense as a replacement. Source: Tim Graham on Twitter Jan 26 - 11:43 AM So Wood just stole close to 5 million and left us with 10 million dead cap?
Hurricane Marv Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Hey can somebody get Beane on the phone? There's an angry 19 year old on a message board that demands an explanation to something. Way to piss all over a classy remembrance thread, ya jerk.

Or was Wood hiding symptoms? Or just toughing it out (which seems kinda dangerous if the dr's knew about this)? Or was some hit he took in that playoff game the thing that pushed it over the edge? Ill be interested to hear more details on this. I just hope E. Wood can live a normal, healthy life. I saw tweets that his neck was aggravated in the Jax game

He said that he waited to announce it because he wanted to see if he was able to go to the pro bowl as an alternate and play one more time. But was going to retire regardless once he found out the news.. Edited January 26, 2018 by YoloinOhio
Ittakestime Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 5 minutes ago, Royale with Cheese said: Just stole? WTF is wrong with you? According to Graham he was retiring no matter what. He signed that contract with the guarantee money knowing he wasn't going to play 1
YoloinOhio Posted January 26, 2018 Author Posted January 26, 2018 Without getting deep into speculation, the most likely case here is that on routine work up of Wood’s neck, an abnormality was seen in the spinal cord.

He signed that contract with the guarantee money knowing he wasn't going to play No, that is not what Graham said. Please read what he wrote. He said he held off on the announcement in case he got the pro bowl call if pouncey or Hudson couldn’t go. But he was retiring regardless (of that). You do realize that he was just told that he isn’t cleared to play football anymore, right? He even said right after the Jax game on his radio segment that he wasn’t considering retirement anytime soon. Edited January 26, 2018 by YoloinOhio 1
