Good for him! We're a couple of years away from being where the Bills are and his years are running out. He can be an asset there and hopefully get a ring before he retires.

Best of luck to him, sure enjoyed watching him play here. We were blessed to have him.

Just realized we will get to see Shaq on hard knocks now. Great dude excited to see him return especially to a Super Bowl contender.

He's too quiet to be featured on that show. Plus he's a pros pro, they want toxic and headlines sound bites or what Allens uses for hair products. I don't think Shaq is a big swear word user either.

Same.

There was a lotta sh-t about his contract and the decision to keep him over Bradberry, but he always gave it everything he had.

Same, wish we could've kept him around a bit longer. TD didn't become TD until after the back to back to back season ending injuries. From 2012 on, he was AP, Pro Bowl, and WPMOTY award winner. I was hoping Shaq would follow in that route here and pass the baton to the next generation. But he only got one year with Trevin Wallace, so we'll see.

Either way, happy he's back in the league, and home to where our castoffs go to rejuvenate their careers 😅

Couldn't be happier for Shaq. Gets to go to a familiar system with familiar faces in McDermott + Rasul Douglas after a tough injury late in his career.

Wish that the team could've brought him back for one more season, but Wallace's emergence made that a lot harder.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
