Wild.

 

Ooof, I know some contracts have provisions against risky activities. Hopefully Hines isn’t in trouble contractually with this happening.

As a pro athlete, you simply can’t take risks like this. One stupid decision (not even made by Hines, at that) just cost him his season - and possibly his career, depending on the severity of this significant injury.

Wild stuff. Glad he is OK in the sense that it could have been way worse. I assume the Bills will put him on IR, though I guess there are some questions regarding whether it can be deemed a reckless activity. Saw on Twitter that the bills specifically put jet skiing in their contracts under that umbrella.

Sounds like Mike Florio is hearing the Bills might be talking with him about a settlement

If Hines doesn’t accept the offer to give up $500,000 in earned bonus money and to receive $289,000, the Bills will: (1) keep the $500,000; and (2) potentially pursue the $1.5 million signing bonus allocation for 2023 from Hines’s prior contract with the Colts. While it could be difficult for the Bills to collect signing-bonus money paid by another team on a contract that was superseded after Hines was traded from the Colts to the Bills, Hines runs the risk of facing that argument — and losing on it — if this ends up in a formal grievance.
