Sounds like Byron Jones is retiring

[Nublar7]

How does the salary cap hit/dead money work if a player retires and is not cut? Or is it the same?

If he retires, doesn't this help with Salary Cap?

 

[Ruckus45]

Per Google


When a player is released (or retires), the team is relieved of having the pay the player's base salary (P5) and any Roster Bonus that may become due after that, but still will need to account for any Signing or Option Bonus prorations that haven't yet counted against the Salary Cap

I don’t think he will voluntarily retire. He will make the team cut him so he gets paid the guarantees.

Maybe an injury settlement?

Anyways, just wonderful that the organization is getting trashed once again in the media.

How are the Dolphins getting trashed? I think he is implicating the game or personal career decisions, not the Dolphins!! You really think the Dolphins are the only team that gives injections or hands out pills??

Don't take the pills and shots -consult and outside doctor - that sounds like he feels that the team or teams pushed this stuff on him.

Good riddance. I hope that his body heals and wish him no harm but... don't let the door hit you in the butt!

Why? You think pain killers is a Dolphins specific thing?

 

[Danny]

sounds like he's setting things up to do a lawsuit against the NFL

And possible litigation based on those comments

Litigation after the dude made over 10 million to sit?

Always manufactured drama here.
