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. I’d even be fine if when they asked for the pay cut he said no and perhaps an off color comment. I get hurt feelings cause some bad blood and he’s a high strung guy. But the games he’s currently playing just aren’t defensible after cashing a million dollar check and signing the contract 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Bills fans completely forgot about RI before he became a bill (the second time after he got cut from the Rams because he was a moron)? If you look at his life, the last 3 years are the outliers. These week on twitter matches up with his past. and I’ve seen the guy out in both Buffalo and Arizona. Not really a stretch to assume he would indulge in some “stuff.” He’s a really good G but let’s not pretend like he is some poor innocent guy. He has created 95% of the problems in his life.

The point is, $5.9M is not exactly being "sh*t on" And did RI, or did RI not, have the power to say "No, I think I'm worth all that and more - if you disagree, cut me and I'll see what the market says"?

Poor RI was powerless in the whole situation. 5 minutes ago, BuffaloMatt said: Younger, not better. Do you know how the nfl works? They are always looking to replace the old vet with the cheaper younger one. Guys age really fast in football. It’s also the G position, which is one of the easy to replace. RI has no leverage here and has no reason for this temper tantrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 So RI goes from being retired, to showing up to conditioning, to asking for a release. I smell Belichick. Richie is dreaming if he thinks McBeane are letting him walk. But maybe a trade? What can Mr. 3XProbowler fetch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) Another question: i dont know this as fact but i vaguely recall that you can’t renegotiate a contract signed in that same season. So there might not be a way for the bills to renegotiate short of cutting him and re-signing? (think it was an RFA situation where I heard that- noting a team couldn’t give ridiculous terms to a guy to help get him off his original team with a handshake agreement to restructure immediately after... imagine giving a huge year 1 salary to a guy on a cap strapped team, they can’t match then you can’t restructure that to signing bonus to be more friendly to both team and player once he’s in house) Edited April 14, 2018 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how often have Bills players made a beeline to Foxboro? How about a recent social justice champion/WR who asked for a release.

benderbender Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) His reasons for retirement were bogus. He passed his post season physical without an issue. He stood with Woods at his retirement. It’s my personal opinion that someone told him he could void his contract by retiring. Then after finding out he could not, is trying to act like a headcase so the Bills will release him from his contract. McBeane and Co. need to treat him just like Boldin: if you want to play, play for us. If not, bye Felicia.
