its not once in a lifetime, it seems to happen every year.
denver, and new england also lost players this offseason.
san fransisco had a heat stroke death 2 years ago.
buffalo had a career ending injury this year.
its the same at retiring or being cut. full signing bonus comes due (which was minimal) and yearly salaries are canned. Taylor got most of his bonus money up front though, so i think the hit is only like 2mill.
If dan wanted to, he could try to get part of the bonus back from taylor's family, but he won't.
