On the bad news, good news, bad news front, Tagaviola threw another interception, I'm only down 4.xx points, and Tag went out wit a concussion.

Tua looking rough in the early season.

Good think he has some big play machines to throw to.

But the concussion thing is really concerning with his history.

In sporting news, a number of people/payers say he should retire.

I'm calling dibs on Carr.

Honestly he probably should.

Seen a lot of concussions.

Only recall seeing that position twice and both were Tua.

Already a very safe bet for CTE. Will only get worse if he keeps playing.

If he plays he might be the first guy to wear the mushroom helmet in a game. Nobody would blame him.

I thought the league told Tua after his last string of concussions that if he had just 1 more, he was done for safety protocols?

I doubt he could have gotten his guaranteed money in that case.

If he never plays again, concussion history will be a factor in negotiations - meaning players will have a big incentive to hide concussions as much as they can.

That is a great point. Scary to think about but you are right.

I don’t think the league should be able to force a player out…

But man. He said he thought about retiring last time.

He really should walk away while he still can. Go on IR for the season, collect your money and retire in the offseason.

Be smart with finances and he is still set for life.

I mean he is set for life without the extra $140M but yeah that will definitely be the major point in retirement. Collect the rest of that guaranteed and enjoy the rest of your life. He is still extremely young. No point in risking it

167 million guaranteed. He's already been paid 43 mil of that.

If he retires for medical reasons, he gets the remaining 124.

I agree with you totally, take the money and run.

 

[averagejoe]

Its scary.
He is young and they arent thinking about what their life would be like at age 60+. Or the quality of that life.

Forget 60.

Look at some of these guys that have retired with CTE.

35 going to be rough.

 

[Chef99]

Well, this is interesting.

After watching that hit a coupla times this morning, I seriously don't see the NFL giving him clearance to play. Ever.

Watching him convulse like that was some scary stuff.

Consider this: Goodell or whomever clears him to play. He gets clocked again.

Not only could he be brain damaged for life, the NFL is open to major lawsuits, I would think. Not to mention the publicity disaster it would bring.

Tua Tagovailoa's contract has no concussion clauses, exceptions, or waivers​

The stakes for both sides are high, if he isn't cleared or if he retires.

Goodell and the owners have got to be hoping that he retires. It would be very bad for business to see a player, especially a well known QB, die on the field.

Who the hell is/was his agent?

 

[Chef99]

Who the hell is/was his agent?

Dunno, but I'm sure he gets at least 10 percent of his salary.

Looking more like AJ Brown ain't gonna play, although it's not official yet.

This is a real pisser for the Boyz with both Addison and Higgins out as well.

But noooo, they can't be put on IR, can they?

This shit happens every week to me. Another MNF game. I have no choice but to sub him out
