Hines out for the year

[DaggersEOD]

Man that’s terrible news!!!
 

His two returns against the Pats is a family legend. The 1st return was obviously for Damar, but that second one, at least for us, was for my sister who passed the day before (42 y/o) and was a HUGE Bills backer. 
 

Surprisingly emotional typing that. Damn smoke must’ve gotten into my eyes. 

 

I’m hoping for a speedy recovery brother!!

Nothing good happens in July and August.

 

Put them all in bubble wrap.

We will be fine. He was on the bubble this year frankly. RB room is loaded, best shape in years. We have Harty and Shakir as returnees. Bad break, but not a big blow as far as I'm concerned 

It’s a loss, the guy was good. 

[Rc2catch]

That hurts. I was excited to see him get a little more run on offense 

[ExWNYer]

Sucks for him. These guys workout all year long preparing for the season and then it's gone in the blink of an eye. Heal up and godspeed, Nyheim. Next man up...

[Fan in Chicago]

Terrible for Hines, speedy recovery to him

 

Does this mean we now get the other Cook? 

[muppy]

a la mier*a.  😥

[FireChans]

Dalvin time

Too many Cooks spoil the broth...

[Donuts and Doritos]

Camp hasn't even started yet. Let's not repeat last season. Stretch before packing for camp & bend & lift.

hmmm..... Making room for Barkley

[stlbills13]

Somebody go bubble wrap Allen and Diggs until September. I live in Illinois so I probably can't get there in time but I'll venmo you for the bubble wrap.

 

I still like the offense. Hines could have actually been a surprise cut especially with new kick rules this season. We'll be fine if that's the biggest injury we have

Barkley will sign his offer sheet probably right before the season starts. But I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't sign a long-term deal with Giants and moves on to another team.

[Charles Romes]

Welcome back, heart palpitations every time we return a kick.

[mrags]

Good thing we payed him on an extension and didn’t save some of that money for………

Unfortunately Tom Pelissero is well-plugged-in and a typically reliable source.

 

Here is where the seamy side of NFL contracts can be at play.  An injury off-site - even if it's sustained while training for the upcoming season on the player's own time and dime - can be termed a "non football injury" and his salary and signing bonus would not be due.

 

I shared the hope several expressed that we wanted Deonte Harty to concentrate on being a WR and not a return man.  We'll see where that goes.

Bring in Cook! 

No. Hines was slotted as a KR/likely backup RB to James Cook. The Bills may be in the RB market for a guy that can slot in there but logically Delvin:

 

-Adds nothing to the return game

-Is facing a legal battle over potential domestic violence

-History of shoulder injuries

-Reportedly has an offer on the table from the Vikings for around $7M which Buffalo would have to beat

 

I see Beane looking for a guy that can add to ST because that was likely the role Hines was going to fill. Would not shock me if this is the opening that brings back Taiwan Jones.

sick

Injury bug starting this early? Ugh.
