Bring him in for a look???

That's a man who hates losing. LMAO

LMAO that's amazing.

that might be a first lol

he felt so bad for alex that he just up and quit

Bills are the new Browns. That is just embarrasing.

wow

Take a hint, Bob Sutton.

Lmao I would have, too.

LMAO 28 points given up when he's playing. 3 after he quit.

Inquiring minds need to know though....

Did he call his grandma first?

His Wikipedia has already been changed to “former NFL player”ROFL

But tbh, I don't think Vontae Davis has all of his marbles in the uh, bowl.

He had already retired.

He just notfified the Bills at halftime.

I'm really uncertain as to whether this has ever happened in the NFL. Maybe at some point in the 1920s if ever.

Patriot Bob Gladieux was once signed to play when he was in the stands as a spectator. He went into the locker room and suited up to play. But that's not really the same thing.

Bills fans are...probably really fickle right now.

Makes all this Mahomes juice all the sweeter.

In retrospect, they shouldn't have traded down.

We traded with the Bills to draft Mahomes. That is sad.

Seems to me Davis is the fickle one

My hero.

I really hate to make assumptions on someone's intelligence with so little evidence, but just the look in his eyes leads me to believe there isn't much going on upstairs.

This is weird, though. Why not just collect a check for the next 3 months and then retire?

I hope he consulted his grandma.

Wow.. LMAO

Well, he is in ththe same secondary as Phillip Gaines, right?

**** the Buffalo Bills.

They are the worst organization in the league.

Truth.

nsfw

basically this

Davis signed a 1 yr/$5m contract.

****, I'll suit up and get my ass kicked in Buffalo for those digs.

Um, that's one way to look at it.

The other way to look at it, is that Davis is a quitter, a loser, and a shitty ****ing teammate.

Yeah. I'm not really convinced, though, that Vontae Davis understands how much money $5 million is.

America is the greatest nation in the world. A guy with an IQ of 75 can become a multi-millionaire by chasing a ball.

ROFL

If he WANTS to...

Yeah. And the great think about America is that he can say no. And then be broke within five years.

I'd really love to get a glimpse at the true net worth of all of the NFL players. That would be great conversation fodder.

Pretty classless move IMHO.

Bullshit. Company never gives me notice when they fire me.

Hell yeah. **** the bossman

I wouldn't know I've never been fired!:D

However quitting on your teammates in the middle of a game is just chicken shit. Hell when I joined a team as a kid I was told upfront by my mother. You make a commitment you stick with it to the end of the year there will be no quitting in the middle of the year.

What a disgrace he is . I am ashamed that he played for Illinois in college ! Oh well Illinois sucks anyways lol. but seriously smh at his stupidity .

That would be...racist?

Amen.

I can't tell you how many pitchers, kickers and defensive backs I've wanted to see get released mid-game. Nice to see someone take it into their own hands.

LMAO this is so good

ROFL

ROFL ROFL ROFL

ROFL

I mean... the problem with that is the Browns themselves are still the Browns.

Right.

The Bills are WORSE than the Browns.

I mean...that's a helluva time for that moment of clarity.

Phillip Gaines Mom Needs to talk the dude off the cliff and get him back to practice tomorrow.

What a classless move.

I wish Alzheimer Bob would retire at halftime.

If Roberto Duran was a football player.....

Fixed

ROFL

I LIKED PHILLIP GAINES' MAMA.

She was nice.

I think it's good

Holy ****ing Mexican soap opera.

Doug Marrone is one of the hottest coaches in the NFL right now. Patrick Mahomes is the hottest QB in the NFL right now. Bills could've had both. LMAO

Yep. Looks like I don't know shit.

Not that this means much either, but Vontae scored a 33 on the Wonderlic. That's the same score Tom Brady and Steve Young recorded. It's also higher than Cam Newton, Matt Ryan, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and Kurt Warner.

Literally more than double Dan Marino and Vince Young's scores.

The dude may actually be pretty intelligent. Perhaps he was just emotional after being told he was being traded and just wanted to speak to his grandma. And maybe he was trolling or just slipped up after they beat Peyton and he said they had been preparing to play Tom Brady all week.

Seems like a thoughtful guy.

https://youtu.be/_llsxScEmBM

My favorite conspiracy theory about that fight is that Duran had eaten a huge meal after the weigh in and quit because he was going to shit himself imminently.

****, man. See, now I just feel like a dick.

I watched this clip and re-watched the Hard Knocks clip. Dude was just emotional. You can see the pain in his face when he says he wants to call his grandma.

I'm sure he's a smart dude.

This is just mind boggling to me. He couldn’t wait another 2 quarters?

This just makes him look classless.

Wow. My guess is he'll regret this every day for the rest of his life.

See, and thinking about it, from a different perspective...

If he looked around, and realized that he didn't want to play anymore, then he did the right thing by not going back out there.

If he went back out there with all this stuff on his mind, not focused...he could get injured or get someone else injured.

I can't question his motives, I haven't been through what he's been through.

Nah

he reminds me of when Eddie Murphy did the "Buckwheat sings the classics"

'Wookin' Pa Nub'

So, can we convince him to un-retire...?

I guess that could happen, but I would think he would have known it before the game or last week. It's classless.

Could you imagine being a Bills fan watching the game at a bar and Davis sits down next to you during the 3rd quarter and orders a drink.
