Thailog80 Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 At a team mini camp w/o a contract? Oh fugging Rosenhaus is going to have a field day with this one.
Dan Gross Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 Insurance carried by Bills...he'll get his money one way or the other...
Campy Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 I think the Bills are required to negotiate in "good faith."

MadBuffaloDisease Posted May 2, 2005 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. Edited May 2, 2005 by MadBuffaloDisease

MattyT Posted May 2, 2005 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.
scribo Posted May 2, 2005 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.

Say what you will about RJ, but he usually made it through PRACTICE at least.
MattyT Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 Say what you will about RJ, but he usually made it through PRACTICE at least. 325805[/snapback] It's sad that you needed to include the word "usually" in that statement.

Alaska Darin Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 Looks like we drafted another tough-guy. Say what you will about RJ, but he usually made it through PRACTICE at least. 325805[/snapback] Uh, mostly because he was wearing a skirt.

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.

Bill from NYC Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 If he's on IR that's right - I forgot. Good call Ramius. 325827[/snapback] Are you sure? What about the signing bonus? 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.

I wish there was a way to find this out.
