Everett Waived

This is actually a good thing. Buffalo was great to our former Cane, but obviously they need to move on with their roster and placed Kevin on the waived/failed physical list. I believe this means they don't have to pay him his 400,000+ dollar salary, but in turn allows him to collect a 225,000 dollar a year disability payment from the NFL.

Because the Bills paid him his entire salary last season, he became eligible for an NFL pension, receiving about $1500 a month. It might not seem like a whole lot, but combined with his disability checks and I think Kevin should be taken care of for the rest of his life assuming the hospital bills aren't too high.

This is one of the few examples where you see the system work. The NFL is notorious for not taking care of it's older retired players, many of which are extremely disabled due to years of brutal play in the NFL. This is a nice story to hear. Best of luck to Kevin, who is an inspiration to everyone and presents hope to all those who have been paralyzed.
