Augie Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 7 minutes ago, Not at the table Karlos said: $16m is a lot to pay for a player that won’t play the whole year and may not be anywhere close to the same player when we’re up against the cap. But what are you going to do about it? I think the only viable option may be to suffer thru it. Both in terms of cap and talent. I’m sure I’ve missed a lot of cap implication talk. Please feel free to enlighten me. This sucks for Tre, the team and the fans, but it’s a fact of life in the NFL. Ask Jets fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible he could be back for AFC Championship game or Super Bowl? Interesting thought but who knows. For a boundary corner tearing his Achilles I don’t think there’s any way he could come back this year at all though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These players are human. It’s hard line to draw. We saw it last year in Cincinnati where humans took over and said we can’t play. There’s no right way to go about this.

And don't get me wrong, I hope for nothing but a full recovery and a lengthy rest of his career for Tre White. Having said that, any player will tell you "It's a business" and then go sign with a rival team. So if the people that play feel that way I also don't see anything wrong with fans who may view it as a business as well and want to discuss the business and finances of the impact of an unfortunate injury such as this as well.

I'd rather talk about what happened after it happened, whole team came around him, whole team hurt when they saw him go down and react like that. Josh brings him up quickly hoping for the best when he talks about the defense in his post game interview on the field. They've been playing some of the best complimentary team football yet under McDermott and you can see how close they are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShakAttack Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 If our pass rush continues to be among the best in the NFL, it will make the DBs jobs a lot easier, no matter who is back there. Personally, I don't think it's a "devastating blow" to the Bills, necessarily, this defense has been successful without Tre in the past and this is nothing new, but this injury still takes a LOT away from how I would normally feel coming off a big win like this only because I feel terrible for Tre as a person and just having to watch him go through that today. That is what hurts, more than anything else. As far as the defense, yeah they lost something, but it's no it's not "season altering". No team ends up being able to field its "best" defense by the end of the year anyway. We were extremely fortunate injury wise through 3 weeks and something was bound to happen. Just hope this doesn't continue to be a trend. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 a real sad deal for tre. been following him since his days at lsu. injury may be futile to his career going forward but always appreciate what he's done as a player on the field and his community involvement and sense of humor. sad day for the team.
