ColoradoBills Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 45 minutes ago, Virgil said: Any cap experts know how injury settlements work? Depending on the severity of the injury, 16 mil next season would be a lot of if he can't come all the way back . You're getting the cart before the horse on this Virgil. @QCityexplained the basics below. The first thing is how bad is Tre's injury and when will he be "football ready". If he recovers and is released by doctors by next March to play, it will be like nothing happened. If, on the other hand, he is still injured the Bills will place him on PUP to start the season. Then there could be a settlement. But as I see it, if he would likely miss any regular season games the cap savings would diminish by the amount of games and his base salary. Last, and I feel the most important, Tre is an integral part of this team. Beane, McDermott and Tre will discuss what he feels is best for him/team. If he thinks he can return to form, the Bills will give him the year. If he has had enough of all this, he may decide to end it an retire. The only problem that could emerge is if Tre thinks he is fine, and the Bills don't agree. I doubt that happens but if it did, it won't be for some time. 28 minutes ago, QCity said: In the NFL an injured player cannot be released. Injury settlements are typically used in place of putting a player on IR for the rest of the season. However once a settlement is reached in this fashion, the player is immediately released. This would be extremely unlikely to happen this season. Because White is a vested veteran (4+ years of service) he can be put on IR next March without having to go through injury waivers. This would allow them to attempt a settlement and release the player which would give the Bills cap relief ($16M but like $10M dead) and allow White to tryout for another team. Wouldn't he start of PUP? Also, great explanation of the process! Quote
Buffalo_Stampede Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 Thinking of Tre! Hoping for a full recovery. Such a tough road again. The injury is one thing but the rehab sucks. As a fan I was so ready to see this defense at full strength. Ugh. Quote
LABILLBACKER Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 Heal fast and strong Tre...hope you can play next season. 1 Quote
ColoradoBills Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 No words for how bad I feel for Tre and his teammates. The team loves this guy and all I can say to them is "Win it all for Tre". Quote
BuffBillsForLife Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 Can't imagine what he's going through right now. It was obvious that coming back from the ACL was a struggle for him, now he has another year-long recovery ahead of him. Just awful. Quote
Koufax Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 I have $27 burning a hole in my pocket Bills Mafia. What are we doing to make this sad moment special and rally around Tre? Let’s figure out how we can make a difference, show him our love and support, and make something great happen in the community between now and when he charges out of the tunnel healthy next year. Who has some ideas or should this get split into a separate thread? 1 1 Quote
Cotton Fitzsimmons Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 Unbelievably heartbreaking for Tre. As great as yesterday was, it sure put a huge damper on it. These guys had to be looking forward to finally getting everyone on the field at the same time with Tre, Von, Micah, Poyer, etc. It's such a shame for Tre... it's gotta be brutal to finally get all the way back and have to start over again with this type of thing.

Here is Tre's deal. https://www.reachingforexcellence27.com/ If his charity got some decent bucks it might make his recovery a little less traumatic. I got $27 too. 1 Quote
boyst Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 If I am BBB I am getting on the phone with him and looking to convert some of this to a bonus, and restructure. Quote
