Would the Bills cut Damar Hamlin? Safety’s story could meet cruel business of NFL

New York Times  

The Athletic has live coverage of Bills vs Bengals in Sunday Night Football action. “All the support you’re getting off the field,” former Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Devon Still said, “doesn’t help you make the 53-man roster.” The thought of Buffalo releasing Hamlin might seem unfathomable to most fans. “When you go through situations like mine or Damar’s, it’s hard to do that.” Hamlin’s journey is fraught with mental hurdles and distractions he must navigate to make the Bills’ roster. Everybody will see that once football starts.” Over $11 million in donations have poured into the Chasing M’s Foundation, which Hamlin started at the University of Pittsburgh as a modest toy drive but has since mushroomed into a charity “dedicated to the development, health and safety of youth through sports, engagement activities, training and programming.” Hamlin embarked on a CPR training tour and donated automated external defibrillators to youth and community organizations. “You can understand your newfound purpose and put it on a shelf for when you’re done playing football or closer to my final years.” Still’s career lasted one more season after his existential shift.
