Lawrence Tynes sues Bucs for $35M

Recommended Posts

Just some typical slow part of the off season MRSA lawsuit talk.....

 

 

http://www.tampabay....fection/2224407

 

 

Former kicker Lawrence Tynes filed a lawsuit against the Bucs claiming former Tampa Bay trainer Todd Toriscelli was the source of the MRSA infection that ended his NFL career in 2013.

 

 

*Updated with a new link that has more info*

 

Looks like it is $20M in future earnings and $15M in damages

Didn't the Bucs/Mrsa end the career of Carl Nicks also?  He was considered one of,  if not,  the best guard in the NFL before they got a hold of him.

 

Hope Tynes wins his lawsuit and the Bucs are forced to pay out the nose.   Ending the careers of two players is BS.

The Bucs reportedly settled with Nicks for $3M. 

 

This article has a lot more detail behind the story:

Tynes is alleging that Todd Toriscelli, a trainer with the Bucs at the time, admitted to close friends he was the source of the MRSA infections because he had MRSA and used the same hot and cold tubs and other therapy devices and equipment the players used.

 

Holy poo, a trainer knowingly doing that? Plus the Bucs just had to pay for a lawsuit by their cheerleaders about being harassed at work? What a classy organization.

They'll almost certainly end up settling out of court with Tynes too.

 

$3M settlement for ending the career of an elite OG at the age of 27?  Yikes.  Nicks got fuged big time.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
