The Bills have placed Richie Incognito on the reserve/retired list. Things can always change, but this is a sign that Incognito will be following through on his decision to walk away from football. 
On Tuesday morning, Incognito indicated that the Bills could talk him out of retirement if they were to rework his contract. Hours later, he told a different reporter that he would be retiring for health reasons and a pay raise would not be enough to change his mind.
After three straight Pro Bowl seasons, Incognito agreed to take a pay cut for the 2018 season. Weeks later, he fired his agents on Twitter. Apparently, Incognito is not interested in returning, even if the Bills are willing to restore his original deal.
Incognito leaves the game months before his 35th birthday in July. Aside from the bullying scandal in Miami, Incognito had an excellent career as a whole. In eleven seasons with the Rams, Bills, and Dolphins, Incognito earned four Pro Bowl selections and reguarly ranked as one of the best players at his position.
GOOOO BIIIIIIGGGG RRRRREEEEDDDDD!
Is Richie a HOF like he says he is?
I guess that depends on what Hall of Fame we are discussing. IMO the current criteria is all about popularity and fan voting has made induction less relevant. Years ago the major criteria was about the “passion” the players had for the game and Richie certainly has to be worthy on that basis.
Even when you retire the NFL doesn’t let you free…..
