YoloinOhio Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/04/05/richie-incognito-fires-agents-via-twitter/ Richie Incognito said at the time he was “thrilled” to rework his contract with the Bills, which amounted to a pay cut.But maybe he wasn’t, assuming he’s not just messing with people (which is an assumption you can’t always safely make with him).

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) Could be this is his last run so he knows he won’t need them anymore, so why pay them?

Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I wonder if PFT actually reached out to Richie, or his agent, to actually confirm their "fired via Twitter" theory. Considering the source.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section122 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 24 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: Seems like they just reported what was out there Kind of. They also then went on to suppose that he wasn't happy with his deal. Perhaps he knows he signed his last contract and doesn't feel he needs an agent anymore. Perhaps he was/is unhappy with their treatment of him. Perhaps a million different scenarios but the only one PFT put out was that perhaps he was unhappy with his deal when there is no evidence of that being true. This line specifically: At the time, the 34-year-old Incognito seemed fired up about the chance to stay in Buffalo, but he apparently changed his mind in the interim. That is a lot of speculation wrapped up in a statement that is not worded as such. Nothing in his tweet references his deal, paycut, or Buffalo. PFT is moving more and more into TMZ territory for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a crusade? Did you even read the rest of the item? They twice allowed that it could be an April fool's type joke by RI. Richie has a long history of publicly commenting on his previous public comments. He can correct "set the record straight" at any time as to his firing of his agents. He has chosen not to yet. Again, HE put this out there to look like he's firing them by Twitter. It's not a "crusade" to report this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
