From what I’ve read, if a team claims him, to get out of the contract next year they take the 4 million hit in dead cap money.

Not specifically to Hillel, but given the (apparent) specifics related to cut for failing to disclose a condition, would the contract be voided, rendering him a free agent not subject to being claimed?
Is that specific to his contract? A way to protect against being traded or something? Or is it because he was cut for failing to disclose an injury? Generally, it would fall on the trading team.
Per Mike Reiss in his ESPN column
“5. Any team claiming Bennett would be inheriting his contract, which extends through 2019 and calls for a $2 million bonus to be paid early in the 2018 league year. That is manageable both in the short- and long-term. They could also decide not to pay the bonus and not have any obligations on their salary cap for 2018 and 2019. The bottom line: Bennett's contract shouldn't be a road block to a team claiming him. If anything, it would be viewed as a bargain.”

He could discourage other teams from claiming him if he really wanted to come back. Not sure that would stop a simple blocking maneuver but a team that did so would probably suffer in the player perception department going forward.
What’s the time frame for this? 24 hours?
Would really like Otto’s view on this.

With the caveat that toast might be better than Allen (although I don't know if his 'grades' exceed his pass catching), isn't Bennett toast. It appeared that he was playing through multiple injuries last year, and by the end, he seemed to have trouble getting up after every play. Maybe it was some combination of painkillers and chasing a ring and a payday that got him through it, but I don't think too many players over 30 can put together 2 straight seasons of that.
Colts cut Vontae Davis. They have a dispute over whether he is really hurt and needs season-ending surgery.
Colts gonna Colt!

That's, like, the bullseye case for an NFLPA grievance, right?
Oh, if you're hurt and get surgery we have to pay you the rest of the season? Uhh... you can't quit the season, you're fired!
They have to pay him the full season at this point, and he is in the last year of his contract. Waiver claim very unlikely if he is hurt.
My favorite part of this incident is the obvious injury-report shenanigans.
I mean, I don't even have to make the jokes at this point, everyone knows them. Brady's shoulder is probably aching over them.
Collins figured it helped Bennett get back to NE, so why not give it a shot.
You wouldn't say that if you saw the injury. Even Redzone switched away tout-de-suite. I wouldn't say it was gruesome, but it's not anything you want to see out there.
Apparently Panthers TE Greg Olsen will be working as part of the TV broadcast for this weekend's Rams-Vikings game. Olsen is currently on IR, but the Panthers have a bye this week. It appears as if Olsen will be back for their next game.
This seems really weird. I guess Fox asked him to do this like five months ago. Seems like an odd thing for a current player to do.
The Vikings GM isn't happy with this, since they are in competition with the Panthers for a top seed in the NFC, and they play each other December 10 - he is worried Olsen will gain an advantage by being in production meetings. Not sure how much he would gain, but I can certainly see the point. (As an aside, they could also face the Rams in the playoffs, so there is an impact to both teams playing).
I hate doing this, because this is admittedly an overplayed card, but imagine if a Patriot player went to announce a Pittsburgh or KC game during a bye week? There'd be national outrage.

I know this isn't your point but I don't think the outrage would last longer than the player being cut by BB.
BB would never let it happen is more like it.
Edelman: hey coach, can I go announce a game during our bye week?
BB: (death stare)
I forget specifically what game he did, but Matt Hasselback did a game a few seasons ago during his bye week when he was with Indy. A few weeks after that he started a game and everyone got really confused because they thought he retired and could have swore he was doing commentary on CBS.
Reminds me of what he told Tebow about taking a (reportedly million-dollar) endorsement deal and related photo shoot during training camp. Tebow took his advice, declined the opportunity, and was cut a few weeks later anyway. He says all the right things publicly, but probably regrets listening to BB there.
Edelman: Ok, how about Danny and I go to Mexico City for a week and film a documentary about our zany adventures?

Hadn't realized Jarvis Landry had been accused of domestic violence, but there's now apparently a video.

He's on strike #2 for substance abuse policy. One more and he's done. Not sure if BB takes that risk on.
...but if he does, Collins is no longer on his rookie contract deal and can be signed for any amount, correct?
P.S. According to @patscap:
@patscap
My new Patriots salary cap space number after accounting for Marsh qualifying for termination pay is $3,542,920.
Eli benched for Geno!
Edit: now when Eli is up for enshrinement at least someone in the room can be like... "guys... he was benched for Geno $&%^! Smith"

Eli Manning: “Coach McAdoo told me I could continue to start while Geno and Davis are given an opportunity to play. My feeling is that if you are going to play the other guys, play them. Starting just to keep the streak going and knowing you won't finish the game and have a chance to win it is pointless to me, and it tarnishes the streak. Like I always have, I will be ready to play if and when I am needed. I will help Geno and Davis prepare to play as well as they possibly can."
Golly gee whiz what a swell guy!
Maybe he can auction off some game worn gear from the Redskins game on Thanksgiving.
