DC Tom Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 3 minutes ago, The Frankish Reich said: Well, if he's retiring, we ought to thank him because he won't have to be paid (and can the Bills claw back any signing bonus money?). So I'm expecting a kind of "umm, I didn't really retire" thing tomorrow, as soon as he talks to his agent. And they'll put him on the "reserve/left squad" list and not pay him anyway.

I don't care about the rumors either. I think Boldin quit on McBeane after he saw what was happening in person. Not a good look. P.S.

The Red King Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 He retires, then he shouldn't count against our cap. And Buffalo better not do anything crazy like cutting him...thereby letting him keep the money and find another team. Did that with Cogs, and with this being equally strange, could set a dangerous precident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would criticize him all day long for quitting. Even if he did not want to play for whatever reason why not come out and be with the team? If he is injured that is one thing but if he was injured McD did not know about it. Oh boy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His salary is guaranteed...but I can't find out if that guarantee holds if a player retires 1.5 games in to the season. And even if it does, that doesn't add up to all $5M. More like $4M and change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
