The Damar Hamlin recovery in accelerating fashion has brought tremendous joy to the entire NFL and sporting world. The 24-year-old Buffalo Bills safety’s collapse on-field in their game against the Cincinnati Bengals rocked the football world. However, Damar has overcome the cardiac arrest hurdle and seems like the Bills want to make things as smooth as possible for Hamlin.

After the tragedy, nobody wanted to think about the future awaiting Damar Hamlin. His contract and his playing return were all afterthoughts to his recovery and rehabilitation from this traumatic episode. However, the Bills took care of Damar. And according to Ian Rapoport’s report, they have sorted out his contract details, in case he had any concerns over it.

Damar Hamlin will have his contract intact

Damar had a 4-year $3.64 million contract with the Buffalo Bills before his trip to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center put him on the injury reserve list ahead of tonight’s game against New England Patriots. According to a standard split stipulated clause in Hamlin’s contract, the player’s inclusion on the IR would mean a lower rate payout to Damar.

However, the Bills have worked out a deal with the NFL and the NFL Players Association leadership to ensure that Damar Hamlin is paid in full.

Damar Hamlin entered the IR after getting off ventilation and breathing support. And the excellent reports have not stopped coming ever since.

Damar left his first public message and a magical thing happened in tonight’s Bills game

Damar is already talking and interacting with family, friends and teammates. The Bills even had a FaceTime session with Hamlin after their practice this week. And Hamlin left a message they all wanted to hear. However, Damar’s fans and the rest of the world were just as impatient to hear from him. And Damar finally obliged when his health allowed him.

“Thankful for everyone who has reached out and prayed. This will make me stronger on the road to recovery. Keep praying for me,” Damar tweeted in his first post back.

And after that, it’s been a series of tweets celebrating the incredible kickoff return by Nyheim Hines for a Buffalo touchdown. This came in the first play against the New England Patriots tonight. And magically, the last time a kickoff return happened for the Bills was 3 years and 3 months. And it looks like the magic of the No. 3 patches is working its charm.
