Today, by the team, so he will be eligible for benefits.

No link, just heard it on the local news.

The Buffalo Bills continue to be moved by Kevin Everett’s heart-warming story of his recovery. His progress from September 9th of last year through today is nothing short of a miracle and is a tremendous example of faith, family and hard work. Today we are faced with the difficult decision to place Kevin on the Waived/Failed Physical list, making him eligible to apply for any benefits due him. We had numerous discussions with the league in dealing with this process to assist him in the best way possible. Kevin will always remain a Buffalo Bill in the same way that Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas and so many others before him are held in the highest regard by our franchise.

Sounds like the Bills have done everything right to assure that Everett gets all of the financial help for which he is eligible.

They already saved his life, so this doesn't surprise me. Best of luck to him, and
:hail: Buffalo Bills.

One has to ponder what the 2008 Bills would have been with him at TE.

It was to be his breakout year.

Could of opened the offense just enough
to keep things honest for the opposing Deffense.

We wish you well Ken.

Good luck KE, whatever you do with the rest of your life.

Nice move by the Bills to make sure he gets all the benefits he's eligible for.

I was hoping he would have retired as a Buffalo Bill. But this is the best way for him to get the benefits and all that. Good luck, Kevin! Glad to hear you are recovering well. :up:

It's a good story but my feeling is that Everett's last year in Buffalo was going to be 2007 no matter what.

You didn't see him in training camp like others did. This looked like the year that he was finally going to shine. I really liked him a lot in TC and thought he would easily push Robert Royal for the #1 spot.

as good as this is handled, think of the countless number of players who have negative health concerns because of football that get cut and do not get the medical care they need.

So kudos for doing the right thing in this very public case, but let's hope taht all the players who are going to need health care for playing such a violent game get access to the benefits they've accrued.
