      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.
        Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

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

              Kevin.
              I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
              "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
              You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
              It was all
              true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
              He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
              mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

                    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.

                      Bills tight end Kevin Everett, who is walking again after suffering a life-threatening spinal cord injury last season, was placed on the team's waived/failed physical list Tuesday, freeing him to pursue long-term disability benefits from the NFL.

                        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.

                          do you think another team is going to pick him up or something?

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