Broncofan Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 If this isn't good enough to warrant another thread, apologies - but looks like Incognito's "retirement" was more about money. Once BUF put him on the reserve/NFI list - he owed them the $1M bonus they recently paid him, plus 1.1M of the original signing bonus. So, a few days after firing his agent, Incognito retires...finds out that decision cost him 2.1M...and then "unretires". Here's the thing - the Bills don't have to take him back now. They can decide to leave him on the reserve/NFI list. And still ask for the 2.1M back, too. Monday should be really interesting in BUF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In practice, once a guy starts saying the R word and pulls it out there in public - it's rare to see a guy stay at the prior level of performance. It's a good attempt to spin it as a "joke" - for BUF to put him on the reserve/NFI list....they weren't laughing, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s coming back to save himself 2.1m As long as he puts effort in this year and isn’t just going through the motions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he comes back and tries and puts in the effort to avoid paying 2.1m, even though he was mentally checked out... that’s pretty cool imo if he comes back and just goes through the motions for a paycheck obviously that’s not cool lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamcanadian Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 He will no doubt get his money back and the salary he is owed. Buffalo simply needs him to play, end of story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I wonder if he can play at a lower weight like 310 or something. Save the liver and kidneys some work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first it just enzymes out of wake without symptoms. Also anti inflammatory drugs are awful for liver and kidneys. He could play once per month without them but probably not more. O wonder if it is in their contracts that they have to do what the dr states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt he gets there by phoning in his last year/s. I'd wager if he is on the field he will be the same tough ahole he's been unless the body is breaking down.
