The Bills released Kevin Everett today after failing a physical (the result of breaking his neck last year). This would seem to be a terrible thing to do considering the magnitude of this injury last year. But since they kept him on the roster all last year, his third in the NFL he qualifies for $224,000 a year in disability plus, a one time payment of $75,000 and another 1,410 as a player pension. It is good to hear that the NFL is treating an injured player right for once after all the stories the past couple years about the NFL abandoning its former players.
