Tim Tebow: out of a job.

Why would the Bills put Kolb on IR? If a concussion knocks him out for the year, what future does he have in the NFL? Why not just cut him?

The Bills need to snatch up Tebow. Although if they feel confident going with an undrafted free agent vs. Tebow that says a lot about his competence as a QB.

Cant cut an injured player. If it is deemed he would be gone for the year anyway, there is no injury settlement to be had so they would have to pay his full salary this year anyways. Cutting him would accelerate any remaining signing bonus applied to next year up to this year. Only thing I can think of if they really dont want him anymore.

This goes along with Lotus' point earlier that the Eagles OL is older and several coming back from injuries

@pdomo: Scout on Eagles' OL: "I think they can be really good, but they've got no depth. If they lose 1 of those starters, they're in trouble.''

Tebow just needs to go.

If he's really so humble, he needs to admit he's not a quarterback, and play a role like Denard Robinson. That's the only way I can see him sticking anywhere. He's just not an NFL caliber quarterback, and he needs to understand that.

Jimmy Clausen ba-bye

Speaking of the Eagles OL, Former Baylor First rounder, Danny Watkins has been cut per NFL.com

He wasted all this time, when he could've been learning a new position. I really hope we don't hear from him. Highly doubt it though.

Maybe they want to retain his rights if he gets healthy after the season is over. Although with concussion issues I kinda doubt it, if a concussion is serious enough to knock you out for the year I think you'd be better off retiring.

CultBrennan59 · 08-31-2013, 06:11 PM

I am very surprised Winfield decided to call it quits. I think theres more to the story, like they didn't want to pay him his money when he got cut, so he's 'retiring'.

Or maybe he really is retiring.

From what I have read, he had a 500k signing bonus, and an additional 500k guaranteed unless he played somewhere else. He probably figured he wouldnt sign for anything more than the vet league minimum and figured it was better to make 500k sitting at home than make 8-900k playing. He would really only be making 3-400k more if that is the case.

If I were in the skins front office I would bring him in for 1.5 and cut JW. We would save 500k and not down grade the position. JW is only here for this year anyway, but the team may have the player in mind as well knowing that if they did that it may ruffle some feathers on the defense and not want to risk throwing a wrench in our peacefully locker room.
