Then it must be a mental thing. Maybe that tweet Martin sent out a few months back really affected him. Regardless of what team he goes to I hope he gets help.

My unsubstantiated conspiracy theory is that Eric Wood was keeping him in check. From Wood's WGR interviews it's clear that the two were close and with Wood gone, Incognito was off the leash and/or was not interested in playing here any more. Please note I have nothing to back this up.

Buffalo Proton (Positively Charged)
After another “racist” comment issue at the end of the season, is he going to get another chance? Not to mention Jonathan Martins tweet and his antics with the contract/retiring the way he did. His ability will be missed but good riddance for all the extracurricular stuff.

Exclusive interview: Patrick DiMarco excited for Bills' new 'multidimensional' offense
Fresh off playing in Super Bowl LI, former Atlanta Falcons fullback Patrick DiMarco landed a four-year deal with the Buffalo Bills. Entering the league as an undrafted free agent out of South Carolina, DiMarco continues to prove doubters wrong, which is fitting for a Buffalo roster seemingly constructed top to bottom with underdog players.
While a lot of his value goes unnoticed and unrecorded on the stat sheet, it is worth noting that DiMarco didn’t find the end zone for the first time since 2013 last season. He also recorded just seven receptions, tying his lowest catch output. He looks forward to more production in 2018.
To see what he has in store for his second season in Buffalo, we caught up with No. 42 to get a better sense of how he’s fitting in and what he expects out of this new offense.

2018 NFL Breakout Players: Here's a look at 10 who are poised for big things this season
Dion Dawkins, T, Bills
With Cordy Glenn bothered by foot and ankle injuries most of last season, Dawkins started 11 games as a rookie at left tackle. Dawkins did a nice job in protection and was especially good in the run game, which led to the Bills trading Glenn to the Bengals in the spring. Dawkins' ability to move players off the ball helped LeSean McCoy run through big holes. Dawkins also improved in pass protection the more he played. He did have a few rough spots, but he has the look of a player who will be a longtime starter.

My theory is the Bills brilliantly manipulated Incognito out the door. His conduct had caused his culture to become curdled and moldy. There was no whey he could stay.

100 percent yes. If Bean boy can successfully get him then I'll be pumped about the defense heading into the first game.
Owners approve changes to kickoff play for 2018
NFL owners voted Tuesday to adopt a revamped kickoff play for the 2018 season.
The changes will make kickoffs more like punts and limit full-speed collisions. The adjustments were made in conjunction with special teams coaches and members of the league's Competition Committee during a player safety summit at the league's headquarters in New York earlier this month. On Tuesday, owners also expanded reviewable plays to include disqualification of players.
Some key takeaways:
1. Players on the kicking team cannot line up more than one yard from the point of the kickoff. The previous rule allowed players to line up five yards from the restraining line (typically 35-yard line), allowing them to have more of a running start before the kick.
2. The wedge block has been eliminated. Only players who line up in the setup zone (between their own 40 and opponents' 45-yard line) can put together double-team blocks.
3. Until the ball is touched or hits the ground, no player on the receiving team may cross the restraining line (typically its 45) or initiate a block. This forces blockers on the receiving team to run back and block, which greatly decreases the chance of an "attack" block that can result in a high-speed collision.
4. When the ball hits the end zone, it's immediately ruled a touchback. There is no need for a player to down the ball in the end zone to initiate a touchback.

Was #4 for player safety, or to eliminate the possibility of the Bills embarrassing themselves again like this:

Comments from twitter are hilarious. You would think helmet to helmet hits were the only way to tackle if you didn't follow football and got all your advice from those people.
