Bills Cornerback Shareece Wright Takes A $932.08 Uber From Chicago To Buffalo To Make It To Voluntary OTAs

Lot of people are going to automatically launch into arguments on this whole thing, such as, why not just rent a car for like 1/9th the price?   Perfectly rational question.  Any reasonable person would ask that.  I won’t lie, it crossed my mind too.  But our one mistake?  Not thinking like a PR person.  Not in the mindset of an NFL player looking to make a good impression with his new team and his new fan base.  A guy who understands the importance of ingratiating himself with the most rabid, hard nosed, take-no-shit fans in the NFL.

What looks better?  Cornerback’s flight gets cancelled so he rents a car from Hertz, drives to Buffalo obeying all the rules of the road and staying within 5 MPH of posted speed limits, and shows up to practice?  Or – “Shareece Wright takes $632.08 Uber 8 hours away to a different state to make it to a (voluntary) practice because money is no object when compared to being there for your teammates and your city and learning a new defensive system as quickly as possible”?  “Oh and he tipped $300 because he appreciates hard working people”?

Exactly.
