I’m curious what, if any, paperwork he’s filed through all this. The NFLPA Twitter account said he notified them he was retiring FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie is a human being, and from what I read not the bad of one......................Someone I certainly could defend. . So you would defend Josh Rosen or Colin Kaepernick? RI has done a ton of scummy things. That said, before this BS, I thought he was a solid guy when he was on the Bills. But I’m not blindly defending guys because I like their politics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Who knows what Richie is thinking. If he is willing to come back, I'll have him. If he isn't, we'll move on to the next guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine- let’s ignore Martin issues and stick to him getting booted from two colleges, the rams meltdowns, the multiple arrests that video of him in the bar throwing around slurs, the incident with the golf course attendant, the slurs towards trainers, the drug issues he’s copped to, that weird incident beating up his car, maybe another racial slur incident in Jax.... but if you discount all that, we really don’t know much to question his character 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he's on something. He's big into doing cocaine and a lot of his tweets were in the middle of the night You sure about that? This a serious assumption and a mans reputation.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, BuffaloMatt said: That came after he was sh*t on and asked to take a pay cut after three consecutive years of being one of the best guards in football. There's a simple answer to that and it lay within Incognito's control: Bills: "RI, will you restructure and take a pay cut to help the team?" RI: "No. After 3 years of being one of the best guards in football, I'm worth what you're paying me and more" Bills: "Final answer? We'd love to keep you but we may have to cut you for cap reasons." RI: "Final answer, let me keep my lil' coins" Bills: "OK, son, we'd like to keep you, but if we do have to make that move for our cap, best of luck" I'm sorry, but I have trouble seeing a $1.15M signing bonus and $4.75M salary as being "**** on" exactly. His 2018 cap hit made him something like the 7th highest paid LG this year, right up there with Clint Boling, Lane Taylor, and Rodger Saffold - all of whom are significantly younger.

He's up all night and acting iradically. Given his history as a known coke head while clubbing in Miami, it fits the bill. At the very least he's being an a-hole trolling on Twitter and not acting professional. Fires his agent on Twitter, retires in Twitter, trolling the team on Twitter. Is he a 34 yr old man or a 16 yr old girl? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just all about being consistent. I thought RI was a giant scumbag before we signed him and gave him a chance. I thought he showed signs of growing up and I was happy to admit I was wrong. But given this childish behavior, his past, & his age, he is not really worth it and doubts I had about the guy are coming back. He is toying with a franchise that gave him a chance when he is at rock bottom. How can people defend that? And if it was a guy like Kaepernick, would you defend him, when he hasn’t done 25% of the stuff RI has done? Just be consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
