Beck Water Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 23 minutes ago, Beck Water said: Not quite...it's the term of the settlement, plus 6 weeks. Let's say he has a UCL injury estimated to require 5 weeks to heal. As I understand it, he gets a 4 week settlement (because preseason isn't paid), and the Bills can sign him 6 weeks AFTER the those 4 weeks, in other words, Week 10. Again, Nope. Length of the injury settlement, PLUS 6 weeks. He can sign with any other team immediately. https://overthecap.com/what-exactly-are-injury-settlements 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 46 minutes ago, FilthyBeast said: Seems like a good dude but obviously not a good NFL QB and crazy to think a lot of so called experts had him pegged as a top 10 draft pick at one point before he decided to stay at USC another year. Same with Sam Darnold... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Water Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 21 minutes ago, No_Matter_What said: Anybody has a clue why don't we do the same with TE Zach Davidson? He seems to be blocking §500k in the cap space, per Sportrac. An injury settlement only makes sense if the actual duration of the injury recovery and rehab is shorter than the season. It wasn't disclosed what Davidson's injury was except "knee". If he had an ACL injury, the recovery + rehab would be longer than the season, so no point to an injury settlement 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but we don’t know if that is his passion as they don’t paid much, but work a ton. I just heard today Davis Webb is now the QB coach for the Broncos, so he’s between Russel, I need my own office, Wilson, and Sean, that ain’t happening, Peyton. Have fun being that intermediary Davis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree…he resigns to PS when he can nes a vet he can’t get claimed nor forced to sign elsewhere Edited September 2, 2023 by djp14150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player is not obliged to take any settlement. The big incentive for a player to take one is so that they can get back on the field once they are healthy. Usually that is with another team.

Charles Romes Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 The four-turnover preseason game removed all possibility of him ever getting claimed by another team, if there was any possibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Remember the year we started with him on the roster, played against him twice, maybe 3 times? It was 2021. We played against him for the Titans, he was a PS call up We played against him on the Panthers later in the year They released him and the falcons signed him just in time to play us that year We faced him 3 times in 1 year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I bet this is the end of the road for Barkley. Four turnovers against backups will do that. Sad to see. Love Barkley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seattlebillsfan Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Perhaps the Bills can bring him back for road games versus the Steelers, to wave the coat during “Renegade” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxum Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I think Barkley would do better on the team relations staff than coaching staff. Teams have staff members to help players out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 7 hours ago, Ethan in Cleveland said: Its interesting. If he hadn't gone back to college for senior year he would be discussed as one of the biggest draft busts of all time. He was a preseason consensus #1 overall pick after his junior year. On ESPN.

I could see that if Matt wants to get into coaching. His wife being a glue ťype would be a good fit for a coaching path in career.

He can coach into his 60s if that's what he wants to do. No rush. Plus, if he wants to coach, he might have to start in the HS or College ranks. I mean, the Bills do seem to love him in the room, but we dont know if he has much to offer as a coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
