KB's knee is considered a ticking time bomb inside BOA

I have certain sources that tell me Kelvin is not considered even remotely healthy.  No one team-wise is happy about it, including those that cast the die.  It had to be done and KB is much more sad than angry because he knows his time is up.  He has NO hope.  The knee will not last.

You all need to think about the person more than the player. 

KB is currently dying inside and it was like a wake inside the team locker room.

If you  believe in God/a god/a higher power/human dignity, Kelvin needs whatever you got to go up now.  It did not go well at all and he deserves our best wishes.

Don't shitt on a broken man.

Many tears were shed today and he leaves the only place where he feels like he was truly loved and had peace.

 

Keep Pounding Kelvin.

You are aware the other team gets all his medicals. If it were that obvious they would know. I'm gonna guess this isn't true .

He has a direct tie to peppers so it's probably true and would explain the move.

Sig has legit sources but yeah isn’t there some sort of physical that has to be passed in order for the trade to go through? I believe that it was a very sad day today inside the org.

There is but it varies.

I do recall him having a source with Peppers, but I'm highly doubting this one.

if kelvin benjamin is not remotely healthy than the team is being negligible and irresponsible playing him. Also the Bills would be aware of this. Not only would they get his medicals, but both bean and McDermott have been around him for years. There is just no shot this can be true.

Either way we will find out sooner rather than later if this is legit or not.

How so?

It's up to the team to do the physical and it could be rigorous or not at all. Mostly when a team doesn't pass a player is because they are looking for a out clause in the trade. Trades can be conducted as is per say as well. I'm not saying this is what happened but it's possible.

He could be playing hurt but yes it would bring up many questions of fair trading if true. Then again Hurney has already screwed them once with clay so it's possible they are just that dumb.

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      David Newton finally retires

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
