Arian Foster made a cheeky remark on Damar Hamlin receiving full payment despite being an injured reserve
With Hamlin now in no position to return to the Bills setup for the postseason, the franchise placed him on injured reserve. This brought in fears that he would face a pay cut which all players have to go through.
Hamlin would have missed out on about half of his salary, courtesy of being placed on reserve. However, that will not be the case since the Bills have negotiated with the NFL and the NFLPA to give him his full salary.
Leading NFL analyst, Ian Rapoport reported, “Damar Hamlin was set to earn $825K in 2022. His split rate if he’s on Injured Reserve is $455K. Placed on IR this week, that’s a difference of $20,555.56. Buffalo worked it out so he’ll receive the whole thing, even though he’s not on the active roster.”
However, despite the agreement between the franchise and the league former NFL running back Arian Foster did not hold himself back from criticizing the league. The 36-year-old took to his official Twitter account to vent out his anger through a sarcastic comment.
