The Red King Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Wait, I thought football was literally killing him. Isn't that why he was retiring? Was he misdiagnosed? Did his health issues miraculously clear up? If I didn't know better I'd almost think Richie was lying about his health as a negotiation tactic, but he wouldn't do something that scummy, right? :roll: The question of whether the renegotiation was fair or not is irrelevant. He signed the contract. That should count for something. Players shouldn't be able to just take a signing bonus then ask to be let go. That contract is signed in good faith by both sides, one party is agreeing to provide a service for a certain amount of time, in return for clearly noted compensation. That contract becomes binding when both parties sign it. If the Bills release him, they gain nothing for it, while Richie stands to gain a lot. Worse, he could go anywhere, including a divisional rival. Do you really want him in a Pats uniform protecting Brady this season? And even if the Bills were feeling generous, Richie's behavior is inexcusable. He didn't ask nicely or privately. First, he "retired" for health reasons, then magically recovered. Then he asks publically on Twitter with whimsical emoticons for a release? No. Just no. Hell no. I'm fine with trading him away, to a team we won't see soon or frequently. Get something for him at least. But just releasing him rewards his behavior and that opens the door for others players to pull this same kind of garbage.

Maybe he’s just cracking under the stress of the NFL Investigating him for the racist slur that Yannick claimed he made...and then forgot Or he's an idiot. He's 34 years old and he's acting like he's fresh out of college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bills Blog Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Guys, it seems obvious that his referring to the former agents is because he is saying that he's upset about the pay cut they negotiated and that is why he wants his release.

Which is dumb as hell because he could have declined the pay cut and been released to the open market as a Free Agent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 9 hours ago, ALF said: Richie was great his last 3 seasons , even did his best to learn a complex blocking scheme last season. So they rewarded that effort with a pay cut . That was a real insult. I agree with your point, he has played well for us, at a fairly bargain price. I could have seen him taking it as an insult. But he should not have a agreed to the re-structure a few weeks ago. The Bills would have then been forced to pay him the terms of his contract, or release him...he created this problem for himself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not remember what Richie was doing before he joined the Bills? Oh, that's right. NOTHING. He was unemployed for bullying a black player right out of a job. But the Bills are the ones in the wrong here. The Bills are the ones who aren't loyal. Sweetbejebus, the sense of entitlement in this world is embarrassing, and the understanding of self-accountability is all but gone. Sweetbejebus in perpetuity.

The Bills win - they payers will come here - end of statement. Pats get away with this BS only now after their dominance and lookie lookie that seems to be crumbling.

Dr.Sack Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) It sounds like Incognito is suffering more from a mental health issue than a physical bodily health complication. If he wants to come out of retirement and is on the right meds than by all means the guy should be a Bill or we should trade him for whatever pick we can get.

disco Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 For those against cutting him - if he shows up, is your opinion we just trust he'll be a reliable player for the season? This feels like it's a trickier situation than what we'd like to do. I don't want to pay for a distraction or worse a hamstring injury day 2 of camp. This is somewhat unique in that we're not dealing with someone that might end up worrying about future reputation. As others have noted, this all coming out of 600k is kind of ridiculous for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we cut him, we get absolutely nothing out of it, open the door for other players to try the same scumbag negotiating tactics and face the very real possibility of playing against him twice this season in a Pats uniform. You can't justify that. I agree with prior posters who suggest we package him up in a trade with the Giants to lighten the cost of their #2 overall draft pick.
