EDIT: Kroft may be next. He has $3.6m guaranteed this year, right? Young guy, not sure if he has kids but he is married, and may have a lot of guaranteed cash to risk. He's kind of nuts to play this year if he has that kind of guarantee - no season = no guaranteed cash, but tolling the contract keeps it in play when we hopefully have cleared this thing a year from now. Saw him in the bills video they did recently of players checking in at the facility.

Again, the injuries stink and have hurt what probably would of been a very good career. I don’t agree. He can look great for a half and then be average for another half. He also is not a in defender. I’m fine moving on. He’s had his multitude of chances. We should have skipped on Josh Norman and signed Logan Ryan.

machine gun kelly Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 As to Gaines, I’m sure he had his reasons. Liked him when he played, but can t rely on him as he has such a long injury history. I do wish people would stop with the at least he was paid this year $150 K. If a documented medical reason qualifying he gets $350 k and does not need to pay it back. If a personal reason which is fine, it is a stipend and has to repay it of no conflict to retain him next year. If he has a contract through 2021 and at least which is all of them $, then he loses from his futures contract so it’s like he gets an advance. He’s not getting paid to do not thing of he doesn’t have a medical reason. I agree with that position, and a guy like Star who had a serious coronary issue younger qualifies in the $350 k category. 1
BillsFanForever19 Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) While i'm sure he had his reasons, he didn't play a down of football last season. Opting out this season would mean that he'll be 2 1/2 years removed from playing when he tries to comeback. Maybe he'll get invited to a camp next year. But I can't see teams being very interested in an almost 30 year old journeyman Corner who hasn't played a down in almost 3 years. Edited August 2, 2020 by BillsFanForever19 1
JohnNord Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 EJ played very well in McDermott’s defense and I thought he could be a good Seth depth player or special teamer.
