K Enemkapali was unemployed for only about 24 hours after breaking the jaw of Jets quarterback
Geno Smith.
In a plot twist that’s too good not to be true, Enemkpali was reportedly claimed via waivers on Wednesday by the Buffalo Bills and coach Rex Ryan, who coached the Jets the last six seasons before being fired last December.
The NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport was first to report via Twitter than Enemkpali is headed to Buffalo and set to resume his career as the most infamous backup outside linebacker in recent history. He reportedly punched Smith, leaving him headed for surgery and out of action 6-10 weeks, over an unpaid $600 debt in the Jets locker room on Tuesday.
By claiming Enemkpali, the Bills acquire his rookie contract, worth $510,000 this season if he makes the team. He was a sixth-round pick in 2014.
This move, of course, isn’t about Enemkpali making or not making any team. It’s about Rex Ryan having a very public chuckle at the expense of his former employer.
