And everyone tried to explain to me that Reuben Foster was guilty and Robert Foster had a 0% chance of making the team. I like my chances of being right about Richie too. this has zero to do with the conversation we're having right now. you being right on that has nothing to do with being right about cogs. i'm not sure why you even brought it up. do you think incognito not being able to physically play due to medical issues had anything to do with it? the bills couldn't have caused that.
Doc Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 34 minutes ago, Sky Diver said: The short time lag is very easy to explain. He signed the contract and then had buyers remorse. The drug connection is pure speculation. That he was unhappy with the contract, even though he signed it is fact. Based on what we know, the most logical explanation is that his breakdown was triggered by the contract. Drugs is the most logical explanation.

I think he expressed his thoughts about his medical condition when he was in a mentally disturbed condition triggered by the contract negotiation and low ball contract offer. What is “pretty illogical” about my opinion about what happened with Richie? It appears that he still wants to play. Would he want to play if his major organs were really shutting down! I think he probably has some medical issues front playing football from most of his life, but his comments were hyperbole.

Maybe the negotiations and low ball contract offer caused him to take illicit drugs or get off his meds, which in turn triggered a breakdown. I can buy that.

Madone already. The Bills didn’t “distance themselves”, they offered him a contract.

Sky Diver Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Do you think if had mental health or life threatening medical issues they would have offered him a contract? Jesuit education must have really dropped off since I graduated undergrad.

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." Buyer's Remorse and Unhappiness with a contract do not "trigger" mental breakdowns in people who are not already in a parlous mental state.

Doc Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 What was that **** Ritchie was taking and blamed the gym incident on? "Lowball contract" something or other?

We all know he isn’t a stable guy, although he had no issues that I am aware of in 3 or so years with Buffalo. How do you know what his triggers are or aren’t? The contract issues could also have occurred parallel with some other personal issues, like his father’s health. I do think that the contract was at least a contributing factor.

Yes, NFL players who are offered reduced/renegotiated contracts always show their displeasure with the "low ball offer" by first willingly signing the offer and THEN they go crazy and/or take drugs that make them crazy. Anyway, he was still going to make more in 2018 than he made in 2017. It was restructure or they were going to cut him.
