Virgil Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Knowing he had no trade value and being on the hook for his contract, could the Bills not kept Schobel and fined him every day and kept his game checks? I don't think that money goes to the cap, but they still get it back don't they? Isn't this the main reason players can't afford to sit out?

I think if he shows up and passes his physical the Bills have to pay him whether he plays or not. As long as Schobel holds up his end of the deal; showing up ready to play, he's owed his money. I think Nix is a smart man and this unexpected one-eighty sounds like a certain 92 year old owner getting involved. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
