Charles Romes Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 In retrospect, it seemed to be a blessing in disguise for the O that this high cost special teamer went down. We only fumbled one kickoff all year, and we were able to play bigger #2 and 3 backs to complement Cook. Harty’s one play won the division and the 2 seed.

Billznut Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 This thread should be merged with the brilliant thread from a few weeks ago on this very subject and how there was NO way the Bills would release him. Forget who started that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 You guys spend way more time on this cap stuff than I do so I’m interested in what anyone guesses the next two or three moves will be. Put another way, if Mc Govern and Hines were the lowest hanging fruit; whose on the next branch up? Who else gets whacked (not just restructured)?

It says he will most likely be brought back for Training Camp. He was "released". But that's just to rip the current contract he has to shreds and bring him back on veteran minimum. Which is the best of both worlds. Frees up the max amount of money we can and still have him like he said we would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoonerBillsFan Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Everyone talking about Beane lying, who says he did? We never got the 100% specifics of the agreement. And as reported,it sounds like he failed a physical. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 This is a Taiwan Jones scenario. Everyone that wanted him gone is celebrating and doing the "I told you so's". Completely ignorning the fact that the release very clearly says he's most likely being brought back for Training Camp. Something that isn't said to the media in an outright "you're gone" release.

He also said a couple of weeks before signing Von Miller not to expect any free agency splashes… I don’t have a problem with him not always telling the truth about what he is planning to do… it’s part of the game … my issue is with people here pointing to what he says and trying to use this as some type of evidence about the future plans .. In relation to Hines… I hope he recovers from his injury and plays again on this team …I have always thought he could be an asset to this team with his returning ability and catching passes out of the backfield ..

Don Otreply Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Such is the story of fringe guys on the roster, when belt tightening is a priority, these sort of moves should surprise no-one, is it Harty or someone else? Who’s next…, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_In_NH Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 3 hours ago, BillsFanForever19 said: Interesting! I knew that he wasn't going anywhere, but I figured it would be a restructure. This sounds like they decided he's vet minimum and that the only way to do that was to rip up his contract completely and re-sign him to a new deal. Good move. Though i'd update the title to "Hines Released - Most Likely to Return". People celebrating his being gone and skipping over that he'll most likely be back. I think "should be back for training camp" is for 1 of 32 teams who sign him, not likely the Bills 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boater Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 2 hours ago, Punching Bag said: By Bills releasing Nyheim Hines the Bills are giving him ammo to his legal team will pursue legal action against those he believed were responsible for the crash that injury impacted him financially. He made significant impact on special teams and because he was traded mid-season he did not have time to be integrated into offense. He will sue. He will prevail in court. But he won't see much of his settlement money. You can't get blood from a stone. It's a long shot that whoever hit him has insurance that will cover this. Even if they have insurance, it's likely to be only half a million or less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
