After a strange couple of months, former Bills offensive lineman Richie Incognito says he still hopes to play in the NFL this year. Two weeks after being placed on psychiatric hold by Florida police, Incognito says he remains focused on resuming his career. 
Incognito hit the free agent market last month when he was released by the Bills. The lineman, who has already flip-flopped on the possibility of retiring this year, will have some explaining to do to NFL teams. Two weeks ago, police placed Incognito in a mental hospital after he reportedly toss weights at a Florida gym and told officers the government is spying on him.
On the field, Incognito has been nothing short of stellar in recent years. The veteran has earned three consecutive Pro Bowl trips and, from a talent perspective, profiles as the best interior lineman on the open market today. It remains to be seen whether clubs will give Incognito what is essentially his second chance following the Dolphins bullying scandal of 2013.
Last year, Incognito graded out as the 12th best guard in the NFL, per Pro Football Focus. He ranked seventh amongst all guards in 2016 and second in ’15, making him the Bills’ top-rated offensive lineman of the last three years.
Do insane asylums even have football teams?
No, but prisons do! Mean Machine! Mean Machine!
I also hope to play in the NFL in 2018.
Mental illness is one of those taboo topics that we usually make fun or sweep under the rug.
If he was battling cancer ppl would be all behind him, fundraising, community functions etc, but when it comes to mental illness—- crickets
Why are we so afraid of a disorder of one of our organs, like diabetes, Crohn’s disease, on and on.
Richie I hope you keep getting the help you need and I want you back in the Great Red White and Blue uniform to continue the resurgence.
No violins are playing for him our you. Not everything is a mental illness. Sometimes people are just brats, babies or on steroids. I’m voting on all 3 for Mr Incognito.
Oh and the reason why it doesn’t get the attention is because it’s very easy to fake a mental illness and just because someone is acting nuts doesn’t mean anything is wrong with them.
Typical
You are correct blaming everything on mental illness is very typical.
He’s been a wild man for awhile dating back to Nebraska. It would be interesting to know how many documented concussions he’s had.
