that behavior you abhor (faking injury) is just to easy to get away with. Tyrd will say his injury is real and I doubt any of his fellow players will question him or ask for proof. Tyrd says something just ain't right with his foot and his fellow players won't question it. of course he isn't going to flaunt the fact that if he had a long term contract, he would play through what ever was nagging him. let's take a recent example for the Bills. last year, prior to the bye week, Mario Williams repeatedly and often complained/mentioned to the press about his wrist bothering him. Yet the bills never included him on their injury report. in fact they were saying it was all in his head. got to the point where the NFL started an investigation of the Bills and their reporting of injuries. Mario went and had a second opinion away from buffalo. had surgery during the bye week and started playing better immediately after. during that whole episode , not one player called Mario out. even though the Bills, including his head coach, publicly suggested he wasn't really injured.

so we will start with NO you can't name one player. then I will concede that I have no way of knowing who is faking. therefore, any injury, real or faked, will be considered real and have no effect on the player eventually cashing in.

can you name just one Franchised tagged player who ran afoul of his teammates and/or eventually didn't get his huge payday ?

put a Flutie on that #7 and raise the price...

and all of this is true, except I don't see the Bills cracking this time. they intend to play this out to their advantage. even if Tyrd acts up, they will still tag him next year, unless of course he is willing to sign what they view as a reasonable long term deal, which he won't.

it's all about CONTENT... all these TV and radio shows need CONTENT and they are in competition with each other for viewers & listeners. it just doesn't matter who is arguing what, as long as fills air time. kind of like a Fan Forum, some folks like to crazy talk , just to get a rise out of others.

nonsense, the players are 100% in his corner. from the players perspective, he got screwed over by the bills by playing on a one year deal. in private, they are encouraging him to NOT risk his career by playing through an injury. the only thing 90% of these guys care about is getting paid. the win/loss record is a distant second. the only time winning becomes more important than money is when the athlete has already been paid huge amounts of money from previous years.

he can replace Brad Smith ?

career threatening ?? I doubt it. first of all, no one but Jairus will really know the severity of his injuries. so anyone questioning his integrity will be guessing. as far as team doctors go, it's pretty easy to mislead them regarding pain threshold. Jairus is more than smart enough to game the system without hurting his reputation in the least. Jairus Tyrd is going to get paid, big time, with or without the Bills, no matter how many games he misses this year or next due to injury. it just may have to wait until the 2015 season, assuming the bills tag him in 2014.

so far, no harm no foul. Tyrd was not going to play in the Detroit game anyways. we just have to wait and see how the regular season plays out. it's just not out of the realm of possibilities, that if Tyrd wants out, that his best way is to use minor injuries as a way to miss games. what Jairus Tyrd should of said is - hell no i'm not happy, I wanted the security of a long term deal. but i'm a professional and I will go out and play my best. the bills are still paying me a lot of money and I intend to earn it.

the #2 CB is still McKelvin. whoever they put over there on the other side will be #1.

is it my order of operations ??

Cornerback Drayton Florence, listed as a starter by the Panthers, no longer is a starter. Because he’s no longer on the team. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/08/31/panthers-cut-drayton-florence/

the bills would be happy to bill you one of two ways: #1- $77 per game for 9 games (2 pre & 7 reg). or #2- $99 per game for 7 regular season games and 2 pre season games FREE. which would you prefer ?

Tim Tebow ?

like when Bran wargs into Hodor ?

value of my $77 per game (cost $693 season) $20 - Min $10 - Det $250 - NE $120 - Car $155 - Bal $120 - Cin $120 - KC $100 - Jets $80 - Mia $975 - TOTAL VALUE on after market

hilarious

but the home opener vs new England is going for triple the value. my $77 seats are going for $250 each in the after market.
