Not going to happen. Bills will put him on the Reserve/Retired list before that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of the real world equivalent: Just up and quit in the middle of a workday, in the middle of a meeting with clients, and go home. That employer is never going to be giving you a positive reference in the future. You wait until the meeting’s (game) is over at the earliest. Had a government person do that at work. He was on the floor and he said he had enough and just quit. Saw him while I was going in (we start at different times) and people on the floor told me he just quit. This is very unusual for government employees have a lot of options including internal transfers, temporary paid leave, etc and he had experience with other agencies so could have found work elsewhere.

Honestly though, I can't ever see an NFL team's owner allowing this guy on his team. This will be all over sports talk shows over the country tomorrow. I've never seen anything like this....

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Just an overall unreal turn of events...these first rough weeks along with Davis acting like a hotheaded spoiled quitter that he is, will either break the spirit of the team beyond redemption for the rest of this season until massive roster overhauling can commence with the 10 draft picks and est. 70 million in cap space upcoming, or it will absolutely create a moment that we can look back on where new leadership was forged (Allen & other hungry go-getters) within this team and created an overachieving no quit group the rest of the way. I honestly can’t even hazard a guess at this point which way we will go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for retiring, could this not wait until the end of the game? Come on dude... He retired as a Bill.. so the Bills own the rights to him. If he wants to sign with another team, the Bills will have to trade him, or just let him go. I don’t think they will just let him walk based on his poor behavior. I can’t see anyone trading for him. His career is most likely over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 3 hours ago, dollars 2 donuts said: Sorry if it has been mentioned as I only got to page two, but I just realized if he retires that's all dead cap money. Actually, no, if he retires, it’s not all dead cap money AFAIK. They don’t owe him for the 7/8 of this seasons games where he’s retired. The seasons salary is guaranteed if they cut him or (usually for a vet) if he’s injured, but if he retires, it’s not owed and they can request return of pro-rated bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRush Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) Very telling comments from Lorenzo Alexander. He had to work his ass off to play in the NFL and a guy like Vontae Davis quits on the spot.

He wants to install Vontae Davis in a puppet regime and then wield power from behind the scenes. Jack Klompus is THE powerbroker of Del Boca Vista.

When I asked that, I had thought he just quit on the team. I wasn’t sure how it worked if the Bills released him because of that. But that doesn’t appear to be an issue anymore since he announced his retirement on social media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
