Quote:Love, who was cut by Washington yesterday, went unclaimed through waivers today. That means all 31 other teams had the opportunity to pick Love up for a non-guaranteed salary of $780,000, and no one took him.
Realistically, that may mean NFL teams just don’t think Love is ever going to get healthy.
I suppose if he really wants to keep chasing the dream, he'll have to be invited to a training camp as a free agent and start from the very bottom. But a successful comeback seems unlikely at this point.
On the bright side, regardless of what happens going forward, Bryce seems to have earned $1.6M gross by the age of 23 (see https://overthecap.com/player/bryce-love/7903/). I assume this is in addition to whatever "loss of value" payout he might have received from his 2018 insurance policy. Maybe that could be another $2-3M, from what I can gather here.
So that ACL tear cost him dearly, but he still pulled in some very good money from football.
Heard that the Niners are looking for depth at running back. . . .
Free Phogge!!!! And no, crimson doesn't refer to the Tide.
