Bills May Be Potentiall Fined by the NFL???

[raphael120]

If Crowell gets a second opinion and that doctor says he doesn't need a scope then the Bills just violated NFL rules. I think we might be subject to draft pick forfiture.

This is getting more and more ****ed.

Can anyone confirm this? It seems legit.

[BAM]

Where'd you find that?

It makes sense, though. If Crowell gets the second opinion (he must be PISSED that hes on IR) and the doctors clear him to play, and the Bills already put him on IR, that HAS to violate some NFL player policy.

[patmoran2006]

if this happens, Russ Brandon should be fired tommorow.

[raphael120]

This is getting embarrassing the more the news comes out.

[BAM]

I'd like to think our leaders are smarter than that which is why I think they know more than they're letting on. Just my opinion. I would be shocked if they were that stupid.

[Dr. Lecter]

It could be anger and not straight stupidity.

[RockStar36]

Then wouldn't have Poz done the same last year. A broken arm isn't season ending, he even said so himself.

[raphael120]

BTW...the thread I was quoting on the BB.com message board is suspiciously not there anymore....

[Dr. Lecter]

I just saw it there 2 minutes ago.

Check now, I dont see it.

I dont know the rules, but when someone tells you they are getting surgery, and you make roster changes based on that such as putting him on the IR, and then they change their mind, how is that our fault?

The thing is Crowell is the one that wanted to get his knee scoped right before the season. That is why the front office put him on I.R. Got to teach non team players a lesson!

Hard to link to something that freakin disappeared! I'm not the only one who saw this thread.

Yeah but you dont put someone on IR when there is not sufficient reason to do so. NFL teams can't just throw players on IR without medical reasons backing the decision to do so. If Crowell didn't have surgery and he's physically able to play, the Bills violated an NFL rule.

Dude, I've been here for 3 freakin years and I haven't once pulled some **** like that. If I'm BSin, then DrLecter here who ALSO saw the thread must be BS'ing too.

[Dr. Lecter]

I did see it, but it was a poster speculating about what could happen with no real knowledge.

[chernobylwraiths]

so he didn't have surgery yesterday? If he did, there is no case.

I can't find that thread now which is very odd.

People forget...if they really wanted to punish Crowell they would have cut him (remember TD cutting Steve Christie the night before the opener so his salary wouldn't count against the cap?). He gets his full salary for being on IR. It might hurt him in FA next year but he gets his money now. By cutting him they would have owed him nothing.

It was in it's very own thread before, though. Oh well, see, it's there. Thanks for the find, dasaybz!

Hey, no problem. But this is purely speculation.

[dannyek71]

Why poor AC? He had to agree to be put on IR before they could do it.

[patmoran2006]

Then wouldn't have Poz done the same last year. A broken arm isn't season ending, he even said so himself.
POZ was out even if he wasnt on IR until the final two games. He would've missed 11 weeks so it made sense to IR him.

By all accounts, Crowell would only miss 2-4 games max with this procedure.

They couldn't cut him without paying him. He already made the 53 man roster.

what is all this about??

Yes they could have. It is opening day that is the cut-off.

We teach them a lesson by shooting ourselves in the foot?

Can the Bills get a mulligan?
