Bills acquire Richie Incognito off waivers from Rams

PrintProFootballTalk.com is reporting that the Buffalo Bills have acquired veteran interior offensive lineman Richie Incognito off waivers from the St. Louis Rams. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Miami Dolphins also put in a waiver claim for Incognito, but Buffalo was awarded the player based on their inferior record.
Incognito was placed on waivers after receiving two personal foul penalties and getting heated toward Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo in this past Sunday's embarrassing road loss to Tennessee. He is widely regarded as one of the dirtiest players in the NFL, and has had several run-ins with the Rams organization in recent seasons.
Here's what SB Nation's Rams blog, Turf Show Times, had to say upon Incognito's departure:
Some team will snap him up. He has the talent, and some coach will think for sure that he has what it takes to keep him on the straight and narrow... or tolerate his antics.
Bills linebacker Kawika Mitchell, currently on IR, took to Twitter to voice his displeasure over the move:
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT THIS YR. THE GUYS A BUM. DIRTY AND ALWAYS WILL BE. REALLY WISH I WAS PLAYIN RITE NOW. SERIOUSLY... I KNO WE'RE N NEED OF OLINE BUT THIS GUY SUKS BALLS.
That, my friends, is blunt. Mitchell has since suggested that he was wrong to make those comments, but also noted that his opinion on Incognito remains unchanged.

If He has the talent...
If he has the talent, why not pick him up. We only have a few weeks left in the season so if he causes problems, we can dump him. I think he is a lot better than some of the ‘depth’ we have had this season. If he could learn to control his emotions, I really like the pick up. And finally, who cares if he is a ‘dirty’ player. The league is full of them.
I must admit that I have a soft spot for Conrad Dobler, and this guy reminds me of Dobler. Conrad once said, “Yes I bit his fingers, but how did they get in my mouth?” Being labeled a dirty player is subjective to the player how is making the accusation.

Man, this is beautiful.............
We get Brohm for nothing and now Icognusto for nothing. I love it!
I already said it last night on another post that we should go get him. Conrad Jr.
And we did.
T.O. has been a good boy all year (mostly). Who is to say that this guy won’t wake up?
Last chance in Buffalo.
With a drafted new left tackle, Wood back and the rest of the walking wounded back next year, along with this guy………. we are going to run over some teams next year!

He’s making 1.01M this year so the Bills will be on the hook for less than 180k and can put a RFA tender on him (assuming the cap is gone) or re-sign him to a different contract.

All of you are dead wrong. He was our best LB before he got injured this year. What that says about our team though is an entirely different story.

True that.....I hear some comments that that is what is happening to the Pats. One or two problem children can be
handled by a strong coaching staff and a veteran team. Get more than that and/or lose veteran leadership….suddenly, you have to send a message by sending players home for being late to a meeting during a snow strom.
I remember Mitchell being looked up to for his leadership and attitude during off seasons workouts. I think it had to do with Crowell screwing around in the middle of workout and Mitchell telling him to knock it off. I respect that. If Mitchell says he sucks balz, then that is good enough for me. Now, if he comes here and behaves…fine.
the Miami Dolphins also put in a waiver claim for Incognito, but Buffalo was awarded the player based on their inferior record.
Hahahahaha…..our suckatude is finally paying off……I bet he is pissed….could have finished out the season in tee shirt and shorts and had a chance to make the playoffs…….Bwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

Matt hit on it. For 180K, there is little downside.and it’s an insurance policy. I asked the question earlier today about Incognito and the response was resoundingly negative. Don’t know much about him, but, from the sounds of the comments, this guy has no fan club. Another interesting twist in the Bills soap opera.

Incognito/ Mitchell
Incognito’s antics sound bush league, but what’s the harm in giving him a fresh start. Speaking of former Rams, one of Buffalo’s former bums who made mistake after mistake, Anthony Hargrove, took a third chance with the Saints this year and has had a nice year…there’s no risk with Incognito; if he shows something even in practice this month and doesn’t cause any distractions, why noit re-sign for a year and give him a shot in camp?
As for Kawika Mitchell, go away. All the players from the old guard (Modrak/ Guy/ Jauron), can officially shut the f up until they accomplish a winning season. Players have been far too comfortable with losing with this team for far too long and I can’t wait to see most of these guys out over the next two offseasons. It’s not that they didn’t want to win; it’s more like they’d have liked to win, but enjoyed their jobs at 7-9 just the same.

Kawika Mitchell won a Super Bowl with the Giants
He’s been here two years. I welcome anything motivational he says, because how is he in any way part of the losing culture of the last decade?
Mmmph rrgh prrmf! - someone with his mouth gagged
What’s motivational about slamming a new teammate before he even steps foot on the field for the first time? For a guy that’s made a lot of money to have four good games in Buffalo these last two years, his opinions on personnel moves are borderline absurd, not inspirational.

For the record, I have absolutely zero problem with Mitchell saying what he said. The whole political angle to football, where players have to watch their tongues, drives me nuts, even when I disagree with what a player is saying or how he’s saying it (see: Drayton Florence’s Vick comments earlier this season).
These guys are humans. They’re going to have opinions. There’s nothing wrong with two teammates not being BFF4Es as long as they’re capable of working within the framework of a team toward a common goal.

Yeah but there's a difference between saying you're disappointed with the move
or not fan of it and saying he suks balls and is a bum. Incognito is already a hot head and it’s not like he made the choice to come here. The BEST way to deal with someone like that is to call him scum. There’s no doubt he’s going to hear that and go “Hey, he’s right! I can’t wait to play on this team and work towards that common goal.” If his teammates don’t have his back why should he have their back?

I have never clamored for Vick to be a Bill. I have said he still deserves to play in the league, though, if a team wants him.
I also am not defending Incognito. I’m simply saying that Mitchell has proved himself to be just as unprofessional. If he had gone in person to Incognito, “right to his face,” as you said, that would have been significantly different.

It’s the sense of entitlement amongst the veterans on this sinking ship that drives me nuts. Bad linebackers don’t get to moonlight in the pro personnel department. The inner circle has enough chefs as it is.
What ???????? Mitchell was just giving his opinion. If OBD doesn't like it, they can fine him or cut him
Besides, Mitchell has already maned up and said he should have kept his mouth shut publicly. I could care less if Richie got his feelings hurt, which I seriously doubt he gives a crap what Mitchell says.

Well, it’s sort of sad that our answer to a bad football player is Kyle Williams or Paul Posluszny…in any event, no, it would still be annoying because the team has been bad throughout their tenure and their lack of success on the field doesn’t make their opinion on personnel matters valid. If Peyton Manning decided that a controversial lineman wasn’t worth the trouble, he’s earned the right to speak his mind…Mitchell? He’s been part of the problem on the field and to make needless trouble while on IR is all too telling of the false sense of entitlement that some of the vets on this team seem to hold.
Manning got grief for his “liquored up kicker” crack. Obviously those words weren’t quite as inflammatory as Mitchell’s but they were more public.

Puz is a good LB. Sure he’s no pro-bowler. But how does 83 solo tackles, 17 assists, 1 sack and 2 INT’s in 9 games make him a bad player? or even a mediocre one? I think that your just undervaluing Puz because our team as a whole is bad. N umbers don’t lie, Puz is a good LB.

But it’s not like Mitchell is saying that it’s a bad signing because Incognito is a bad player. He has a problem with Incognito as a person. Assuming Mitchell is a clean player, he has every right to think that jumping onto piles late, scratching guys at the bottom of a pile, hitting after the whistle and head butting players doesn’t belong in the game and guys who do it, don’t belong in the league.
I signed up for Second Life about a year ago. Back then my life was so great that I literally wanted a second one. In my Second Life I was also a paper salesman and I was also named Dwight. Absolutely everything was the same. Except I could fly. - Dwight Schrute
He said Incognito "suks balls"
I take that as he thinks he’s a bad player in addition to being a turd.
Either way, Mitchell shouldn’t have brought this public. I know he probably can’t go to anyone above him to say that Incognito is a ballsucker, and he probably isn’t even in Buffalo to talk to any of his teammates, but he simply can’t go spouting off like this.
I will say this, I’m glad he cares enough about how his teammates are as people. It was the wrong forum to bring this up, but at least he cares about who is on his team and who he goes to battle with. I’d be pretty ticked if my team brought in a scumbag player that gets personal foul penalties every game because he can’t control himself.

I’ll take a crack at this one. Bad, no. Inconsistent, yes. He’s another guy like Poz, just a worse tackler, but better at blitzing. If he were the 3rd best guy in a LB corps, like he was in NY, it would be fine. But he’s not. He over-pursues and struggles to shed. He makes the occasional big play but also blows it big occasionally. My problem with Mitchell is not that he’s a bad player, per se. He’s just not what we need. And now he’s injured.
Official ledge-talker-offer of the Buffalo Bills.
I agree that he should not be depended as our best LB, and that he is terribly inconsistent. I just see him as the type of player that, when he’s on he’s great, and when he’s off he’s bad. The trick is for him to have more good games then bad ones. I think that he’s come up just about even so far, but that doesn’t make him a bad player, just an average one.

So.....Mitchell is an ass for accurately calling Richie a dirty player?????
You may not like the words he used, but the message is valid. And, why does it matter if Mitchell is the worst or best player on the team? Mitchell is a teammate, not a superior of Richie, therefore has no power over him. Mitchell’s opinion means zero. If the Bills FO wants to take action it can. I would take Mitchell over Richie any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Matthew 18, beginning at verse 15. "And if your brother sins, go and reprove him in private." Mitchell already admitted his mistake.

Strange for you to quote Mat.18 for your point – it actually proves the opposite: Mitchell was way off-base, not necessarily because of what he said, but the mammothly public forum in which he said it.
Again, as I said above, in what other segment of society, as an employee of what other type of organization, could Mitchell have done this and it NOT be seen as monumentally unprofessional?

Exactly, and all of the players in the end understand they have to play with whomever is paid to play
They don’t get to pick and choose, no matter how much they might want to think that. Besides, we have him for 3 games, Simmons is down for one at a minimum and he is better than any street FA we can pull in. We deal with him for now, and then make up our minds at end of season whether or not he is worth to bring back as our top OG backup or possibly as our new RG and have Wood (if truly healthy enough to play) at Center.

A couple of my thoughts on this
I don’t mind the signing. I actually liked him in his draft year for whatever reason. I won’t pretend to say I know anything about him now, but he can’t be that bad, can he? How many penalties and fines (career wise) does he have? I have no idea. Maybe that’d change my mind about him some. But if Parcells put a claim on him, I’m just glad to have beat him at something..
The Mitchell thing made me laugh. Again – where’d that come from? When did these guys play each other, and what the hell happened? Has anyone else ever tweeted so much hate so far? I don’t think he’ll get fined, but I bet he gets a phone call from the commissioner’s office. The league markets a PG13 movie that everyone knows is really an R movie (and X behind the scenes). It’s got to kind of keep it clean publicly…
A lot of people act like Incognito doesn’t know he’s a dirty player. I’m 100% sure this isn’t the first time he’s heard someone call him names, even on his own team. He knows it and I’m sure he’s used to being treated as such. It’s not like two players on the same team have to get along, especially when they play on opposite sides of the ball. Otherwise, every single training camp fight would be the death knell for the team’s morale.
I love that Incognito is a dirty player and I love what Kawika said about him. It certainly makes the end of the season a bit more interesting.

If Incognito sticks, practices could become intense next season.
The team needs this.

Agreed. My current judgement of his is entirely based on the doush that he’s been in STL. If he changes his ways and proves me wrong, I’ll be happy about it. But until then, my opinion stays in the “hate this move” camp.
