Freddie's Dead Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 He cleared up why it wasn't caught before. Stingers midseason, x-rays clear, MRI at the end of the season showed damage to C2/C3, but he found out before the playoff game (meaning he played with possibility of paralyzation?!?). He's still on the roster and is looking to help the team. No questions taken, will be answered "at a later date". Very weird presser.

Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) Sounds like Donald Jones replacement on the Murphy show ? He did say he knew about this "before" the playoff game. Perhaps there are legality or players union issues now ? Edited January 29, 2018 by Jamie Muellers Ghost

Canadian Bills Fan Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 I would love to see him as an assistant coach

Meaning it was only a few days after. that makes sense Just now, Commonsense said: Everyone is saying it was "weird", seem like there might be some friction between the team and player? Anything like that? I didn't see the interview and haven't followed it since the original announcement. I think it has something to do with cap hit..and it came up today, and prolly a big reason for the delay 1

I think he said the team doctors saw the issue before the playoff game but he wasn’t given confirmation that he was no longer able to play by Dr Cappuccino until the day his son was born, which was about a week later.

eball Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 When was the kid born? Before or after the playoff game? 1
thebandit27 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 I wonder if they're keeping him on the roster to see if there's any way that they can tweak his contract. I would imagine, however, that there's no practical way to do that without getting in trouble for skirting the cap 1

Agree with plez, looks like they're trying to do something to lessen his cap hit before he officially retires. 1

eball Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Some of you are morons. Of course he didn't learn of the issue before the playoffs. He learned of it in his SEASON-ENDING physical that was after the game and right before his son was born.
