Shawne Merriman story about NOT wanting to come to the Bills (changed his mind)

[Old Coot]

Merriman could well be the highest paid Bills player ever. He got $1 million for 15 minutes work.

Vontae Davis won that, not Merriman. One and a half games for $5 million vice Merriman's 15, started 6.

At 7:40 is the best part. Made me actually choke on my coffee thinking those 200 comments were TBD members going after him 😂

Great interview.

 

Love his love for Buffalo, even for such a short time here.

No, not at all. First the Bills had a contract with protections.

He also went right up to the FO within a few days and wrote them a check returning nearly all the money he'd been paid. Vontae played extremely fair with the Bills on this. It was an extremely weird story but was not a ripoff.
