Knee problem aside, this guy must be an unbelievable jackass for teams to cast aside his undeniable talent.

If he used his "undeniable" talent, maybe he'd have a regular job.

I suppose you got lost on the way to the Pro Football Talk comments section.

Our crack (-addicted) medical staff strikes again. Coles last year, Bryant this year. It'd be nice if Mike Brown would spend some money on doctors, trainers, maybe an actual practice bubble...

So does he, in fact, get that $8 million guaranteed? If so, that's one hell of an offseason.

Yes to that question.
That's what I thought this morning. 8M for (not) learning a playbook and showing up at trainingcamp. (injured)
The kicker is that he is an unrestricted free agent and can get another signing bonus. But I doubt anyone will take a chance on his knee.

You doubt anyone (Redskins) will take a chance (Redskins) on his knee?

I can't think of anybody either.

This just seems dumb on management's part. If I remember correctly, his contract for 10 million, 7 of which had already been paid. So for 3 million more you could keep him as insurance and a weekly inactive until he's ready to play, or move him to the IR with an eye to releasing him with an injury settlement. In this case, the injury settlement would be to return a portion of the signing bonus. In return, he could sign another contract with another team and get paid again, as well as play football this year.

Cincinnati Management acting stupid and not knowing the Ins/Outs of football? Some in-law that has a management position isn't going to get their full bonus this year.

When a team as WR-starved as the Bucs let him go, it's kind of a sign, no?

If he's even vaguely physically healthy, I'd assume he's off to the Rams.

Couldn't the Bills use anything provided the corpse doesn't stink too badly?
