If I was his dad, my advice would be to hang 'em up.

He's got a national title, played at the highest level, and has plenty of money from his Bama playing days.

He needs to retire if he wants to be able to cognitively function and eat solid foods at the age of 35.

He went to an SEC school, not sure that's on the table anyway

[Mdot21]

he would be a fool to keep playing. NFL needs to step in and give him a severance package and tell him he can no longer play because of head trauma injuries.

his agent wants him to play

[MrNubbz]

Wonder what incentive he may have

his agent wants him to play

doubt it. his agent will get paid even if Tua retires right now, that fat contract his agent just negotiated for Tua was loaded with guaranteed dollars. pretty sure the agent has a relationship with the person and not just the player.

anyone not advising Tua to hang them up is an evil person. the guy has had 4 "official" concussions that were quite severe in the past 5 years where the guy was twitching and convulsing and looked like he was dying out on the field and at the very least another concussion that wasn't properly diagnosed with that "back injury" he had vs the Bills that the Dolphins covered up. The players are going to want to play, they are warriors, competitors- but the team doctors and NFL has an obligation to player safety and to protect the player from himself. Dolphins failed there.

the damage he's done to his brain is irreversible, it's not worth risking any more damage and the more concussions he gets the worse his brain injury is going to be. he's got to think about what his quality of life when he's older will be like. does he really want to be 45 suffering from severe CTE and dementia?

4 sacks already for Hutchinson today.  Offense needs to actually punch something in, defense carrying them

Needed it.  Didn't need a St. Brown injury.  I have St. Brown, Gibbs and LaPorta in fantasy, and Montgomery keeps vulturing TDs

Vikings about to be alone in 1st in the NFC North

[MrNubbz]

Still 11 minutes left but I like your line of thinking - not the Vikes but the Niners getting deep sixed

[Mdot21]

Panthers going to contend with the 0-16 Lions for one of the worst teams ever I think. Man they suck. 

It’s still early but man Bryce Young is looking like one of the worst #1 overall picks ever.

[MrNubbz]

Manziel,Weedan & the Browns all say hello

Neither one was a #1 overall pick

Sorry but they would have just take a look at what jimmy hasbeen shelled out for Watson on top of those two imposters. Real QB whisperer he is
