There’s no doubt in my mind that he’s going to retire.

He would be insane not to retire...and most players under the age of 32, who can still get around should contemplate retirement as well. This game has devolved to the point that physical detruction seems to be the goal, regardless of steps the league is taking to allay that image...

If we can’t see fit to eliminating tackle football (which I am all for but can seem to get nobody to agree with me) then eliminate the 3-point stance, kickoffs and punt returns...explore technology to develop soft outer shells on helmets, that would lessen the severity of helmet to helmet shots; these are sickening and alone are cnducive to banning the sport as it now exists...there are many other suggestions as well, I’m sure...

They certainly need to develop better helmets and figure out something for kickoff and punt returns. However, they are NEVER going to ban football, there is just too much money at stake.
