Timmons goes AWOL

[masterfins]

Seems like the Steelers didn't do anything to initiate the contact and was just caught off guard.  I think the bigger question is what about the way the Dolphins treat players vs the way the Steelers do things made this player decide he wants out.

I'm gonna have to agree with Baba Booey's reply to this.  Your way off base Hoodie.

Funny how getting throttled by the worst team in the league makes you forget what he did.

I'm sure he'll be giving 110%    

Within the next two weeks I guarantee he'll get "injured" and be out for the season.

Did it ever come out what happened?  Did he just have a mental break?

So, Timmons has been reinstated and it's likely it will not come anytime soon why he went AWOL, but he's back with the team and hopefully can make an impact at the LB position, which has been hurting lately.

The answer why Timmons is back is because the Dolphins believe they made their point to the veteran linebacker and any player who considers going AWOL hours before a game. The message is you go, you’ll pay for it.

Timmons paid by missing one game check this year. He also will pay for it by basically losing as much as $4.5 million in guarantees he was scheduled to have next season but is now forfeiting. The financial portion of this issue has basically cost Timmons security for next year.

Won't he lose 2 game checks?  SD and NYJ?

[Fau Teixeira]

he wasn't suspended until after the game against SD

Still, no show, no dough right?

He will not get 1 game check this year. And he fore-fitted $4.5 mill in guaranteed money next year if Miami cuts him after the season

[masterfins]

Relatively speaking, he wasn't making much money on a "per game" basis this year; as the majority of money this year was in the form of the signing bonus.
