A lot of people urged Peyton Manning to retire when he had those serious neck issues.

He came back, won a Super Bowl with the Broncos, and looks fine in his commercials for Draft Kings and many others.

This is completely up to Tua.

If he is cleared, he either plays or retires. No in between.

It he was 2nd string they’d tell him to retire and cut him if he didn’t.

Mike Matheny retired early as a baseball catcher after too many concussions, from foul tips into his face-mask. But he was 35 and had a good career.

The NFL should retire him before he dies or is incapacitated for good on the field.

Here’s an article that explains Tua’s contract with the Dolphins.

He basically already collected at least $50 million of a $212 million contract. If NFL doctors clear him to play (and he does not retire) he’s guaranteed $167 million

Did he have one of those Nerf Guardian caps over his helmet?

How soon will those be required for all quarterbacks?

Trade him to the Browns...that’s where all quarterback’s careers end!

It’s Tua’s life and Tua’s decision. But IMH and unmedical opinion, yes, he should retire.
