Bills Sign LB IK Enemkpali

New York Jets fans have been spared the trauma of yet another season with Geno Smith at the helm, as the quarterback is out 6-10 weeks with a fractured jaw after being punched by now-former teammate Ikemefuna “IK” Enemkpali. Smith will miss up to 10 weeks with a broken jaw.

Bowles says the Jets could add another quarterback, but it appears Ryan Fitzpatrick will assume the starting job. “You just don’t want to get sucker-punched”. “It had no reason for happening”. With New York’s reacquisition of defensive standouts Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie along with last year’s third ranked rushing offense, I think this team is tailor made for Fitzpatrick’s game management style of play. “It became about the fact that Geno wasn’t necessarily apologetic and being in a way remorseful about the money when saying he was going to pay I.K. back“. We tell our guys all the time that that’s your space. Enemkpali invited Smith to his football camp back in his hometown of Pflugerville, Texas, to which Smith confirmed that he would attend. If you have an issue with another man, you talk about it, you don’t put your hands on anybody. I profoundly lament and apologize for my activities.

You have to love his effort, but not even all of the promotional opportunities have earned Lorenzen some interest from the Jets. Fitzpatrick has roughly half the season to prove he’s the quarterback the Jets need. Bryce Petty, a fourth-round pick this year out of Baylor, and undrafted free agent Jake Heaps out of Miami are the Jets’ other remaining quarterbacks. After regaining the No. 1 role following Vick’s disastrous performance in Week 12, Smith steadily ramped up his play. “You don’t bring it back in the locker room”.

Though he’s not yet spoken with Enemkpali, Ryan said he approached general manager Doug Whaley to discuss putting in a claim for the player.

Former NFL safety Ryan Clark spoke with two players who were in the Jets locker room at the time of the fight. By no means does that make him immune to the challenges of life after the NFL, but he stands a much better chance than Enemkpali.

Rex Ryan was shown the door in New York and most of us expected it to happen sooner or later but of course didn’t know when. The guy who punched him got released.

With Smith sidelined for the foreseeable future, new offensive coordinator Chan Gailey must rework his approach just one month prior to the Jets’ first regular season game. During that time, he coached both Geno Smith and Stedman Bailey, who both went on to set records at West Virginia University.

He additionally might face felony costs, if Smith chooses to pursue them.

According to ESPN, this isn’t Enemkpali’s first physical altercation.

Enemkpali was suspended for one game at Louisiana Tech for punching an off-duty police officer.

Ryan said that he hasn’t spoken to Enemkpali yet, but believes that he’ll learn from what happened with the Jets and that he can make the Bills a better football team this year.
