Obviously, but what a baby. I though players want to play. The Bills are going to the playoffs. Doesn't Slay want a shot at a ring? Apparently he'd rather pout.

I think different players are motivated by different things

 

I guess I don't find it particularly surprising that a 34yr vet w no prior relationship w the Bills might opt to retire instead of reporting

Any truth to the rumor that a team was going to claim Slay in response to the Eagles breaking the unwritten rule of claiming injured Willie Lampkin off of waivers from the Rams in August?

I just want him to get on the field, so that when he makes a play I can yell, "SLAYERRRR!!!"

No its not.  He can say whatever reason he wants to not go to Buffalo or where ever.  It is HIS RIGHT to want to play for someone or not want to play for someone.  He KNEW another team COULD claim him and he made the choice to GAMBLE on getting through waivers and get a chance to sign back to Philly, or see another team claim him where he was more interested in retiring than starting over some where.  

 

All he did was ask Pitt for his release so he could SEE if he got through waivers.  When he didn't, the interest just wasnt there to go play here.  That is also his right to choose to play or retire when he learns where his rights end up.

 

Rosenhaus tampered when he worked behind the scenes and had assurances from Philly that they would put in a claim.

 

Yes, Slay can say what he wants, we just don't have to believe him.  And what Slay said was laughably stupid. 

 

Why do you think Slay said such stupid things?  Hint, he was caught by surprise by the turn of events and didn't have a script from Rosenhaus.

Actually the biggest factor is that he already has a Super Bowl win.

Geez how ironic... the Eagles claimed Willie Lampkin to block him from going to the Rams.

 

This isn't a freaking Sunday night Yahtzee game. It's a high-stakes multi-billion dollar industry. Let the other teams play nice guy with "unwritten rules."

 

AGAIN, if Beane doesn't block Philly from getting Slay and he intercepts Josh in 14 days, Beane gets CRUCIFIED by the same people who are criticizing him for violating some sort of "code of honor" that's counter to the actual rule.

 

Jesus.

What tampering?  Bills have his rights.  End of story.  You have yet to make sense in this hot take.
