That's No Moon Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 What possible grievance would there be to file? The dude was in a jet ski accident. It's the definition of a non football injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW82 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) I would encourage everyone to read Joe B's breakdown of Bills road to get under the cap which includes options for Hines. It's excellent. I actually felt more optimistic after reading it. We might not have to do a complete teardown this year despite being objectively screwed. https://theathletic.com/5238669/2024/02/02/buffalo-bills-offseason-salary-cap/ Edited February 4 by VW82 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with that i would rather see Ty Johnson come back the guy was a improvement for the running game this year but kick returns could be much better !! I think that’s the plan I don’t see Harty in our future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the definition of a non football injury. The NFLPA will file a grievance even in a losing battle. And his scenario, yes, he was on the Ski. But he was stationary filling up the tank. So there was some question as to whether the injury occurring while not riding and being a victim of someone hitting him really constituted as a breach of the contract.

JerseyBills Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 On 1/24/2024 at 5:31 PM, BillsFanForever19 said: Among most, if not all, posts talking about freeing up cap space - Nyheim Hines being released is mentioned. And in a vacuum, it seems like a no brainer type of move. But it appears it's not going to happen. I've touched on this in other posts a bit before but there's factors at play here. When the injury occured, his agent started speaking up about filing a grievance if he wasn't taken care of. Then it all went away. Beane and he came to an agreement. Hines would keep a portion of his money and not be released and in turn, most of his money for last season would come off the books - freeing up some cap space for last year and Hines and his people wouldn't file a grievance. I've been almost positive part of that agreement was he wouldn't be cut and given every opportunity to reclaim his job. Hines has said that he's going to be a Bill this year: https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/buffalo-bills-nyheim-hines-injury-rehab-jet-ski-accident Yesterday at Beane's Year End Presser - he confirmed it. Nyheim Hines will not be an offseason cap casualty: (56:49 - 57:22) I'm not a capologist, so I don't know if there's any massaging that can be done to his contract to create some relief somewhere. But it's pretty clear that unless he is completely physically unable to perform, Nyheim Hines will be one of our RB's behind James Cook. I'm much bigger on Hines than most, dude is a flat out playmaker and was missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what youre saying but before the injury he was not a $5M back. after seeing Tre/Von, but a player at the most unforgiving position, i just cant see any way he survives camp. would take a major cap reduction, and a kiss from God himself on that ACL.

But there's a thread for that. This thread is about a very particular theory that is now officially debunked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
