MadBuffaloDisease Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 (edited) His agent isn't Rosenhaus, thankfully. But the Bills should still give Everett a standard contract, less any money received from insurance. Depending on the amount of the benefit, they could get Everett for vet minimum for every year of his contract.

MattyT Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 He may become the highest paid player in Bills history when you look at price vs. performance. Think about it....he'll probably get several million for running 10 routes and then falling to the ground like a sack of flour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 But does this contract yet to be agreed upon still count against the '05 season cap? That is the real question in all this, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, if Vick or Manning is injured in pre-season, I was always under the impression that their respective team would be crippled with a cap hit. After all, they DID receive a signing bonus to be pro-rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what happens when a player is goes on IR during the season? Does his salary/pro-rated bonus suddenly not count? I'm not making statements mind you, but I dont remember teams getting cap relief due to injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
