Short Take Sports
Bills thoughts.
No one had the 53 right. We all missed on Hardy, among others. Think about the economics for Joe Andreessen.
Under the current contract, NFL rookie minimum salary is $795,000. It jumps to $960,000 year 1 and $1.03 million year 2. Joe Andreessen is a great story, but let’s hope he sticks and for 3 years or so, the length of an annual NFL career. He is 24. If he can do it, even as a backup/special teamer on the 53, he should be set for life. That’s $2.785 million for 3 years work. Practice squad players make $216,000 per year. https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/football/nfl/bills/2024/08/27/buffalo-bills-final-53-man-roster-cuts-depth-chart-injured-reserve/74973483007/
Mike White joins Bills
If it doesn’t work out for the QB, here’s hoping he gets a shot in New England. That would give him stints with all 4 AFC East teams. https://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/2024/08/bills-sign-former-jets-dolphins-qb-to-practice-squad-with-mitch-trubiskys-status-unclear.html
Cody Ford is a train wreck
Yeah, so the Bengals player has girl problems, as in too many. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nfl/article-13786071/NFL-star-Cody-Fo…
