How is it that so many players from that team have retired due to injury in the past few years?

 

is that 3 now?

 

Chancellor, Avril, and now Baldwin...

 

and all all three were good-great players at one time or another. 

They are all faking it because they hate Russ and Ciara.

so whats the difference between retiring and this?  Does this mean he gets paid by the Hawks like the comments on twitter state?

 

Yes, and it's significant.

If he retired, he would have to repay any amortized signing bonus remaining on his contract.

In this case, it's 2 years at $3.1M/yr so $6.2M

 

By the Seasnakes cutting him, he gets to keep the $$ and the Seasnakes eat $6.2M of dead cap.

Because that team peaked like 5 years ago, and that is a loooong time in the NFL. And a big difference on the body between being mid-20s, and early-30s.
