If he's really so humble, he needs to admit he's not a quarterback, and play a role like Denard Robinson. That's the only way I can see him sticking anywhere. He's just not an NFL caliber quarterback, and he needs to understand that.
He wasted all this time, when he could've been learning a new position. I really hope we don't hear from him. Highly doubt it though.

Why would the Bills put Kolb on IR? If a concussion knocks him out for the year, what future does he have in the NFL? Why not just cut him?
Maybe they want to retain his rights if he gets healthy after the season is over. Although with concussion issues I kinda doubt it, if a concussion is serious enough to knock you out for the year I think you'd be better off retiring.

I am very surprised Winfield decided to call it quits. I think theres more to the story, like they didn't want to pay him his money when he got cut, so he's 'retiring'.
Or maybe he really is retiring.

From what I have read, he had a 500k signing bonus, and an additional 500k guaranteed unless he played somewhere else. He probably figured he wouldnt sign for anything more than the vet league minimum and figured it was better to make 500k sitting at home than make 8-900k playing. He would really only be making 3-400k more if that is the case.

If I were in the skins front office I would bring him in for 1.5 and cut JW. We would save 500k and not down grade the position. JW is only here for this year anyway, but the team may have the player in mind as well knowing that if they did that it may ruffle some feathers on the defense and not want to risk throwing a wrench in our peacefully locker room.

I just have to believe at this point that Winfield simply does not want to play for the Skins. We have made several efforts to get him and I doubt we lowballed him so the fact that his agent said retiring seems like evidence enough for me to let it go.

That's pretty much where I ended up. Leave it be for now and if we have an injury bring Chase up off the PS (assuming he makes it there but with his injury history it doesn't scare me). We are in good shape without AW and he hasn't played in our system.

Kirk Cousins to the Raiders next year (not this year) could be a high possibility.
