Mr. WEO

No one has said otherwise. I stated so at least once---even reposting it above your last response. Not sure what your point is now.

See above... Also, I'm sure you understand that corporate takeover and downsizing layoffs/early retirement offers are not what are being discussed here. We are talking about a single, particular employee getting fired without cause (i.e., if he is cleared to play)....

Pay him to sit? Might as well cut him then. If he's cleared, they are playing him.

You must not have no HR department where you work. Hes broken no rules, violated no contract. he would have to be fired for cause (which is what?). NFL is a union shop. NFLPA will never allow such a precedent unless it’s bargained for. If he is cleared medically to play, I see no mechanism for the team (let alone the league) to “fire” him. They can cut him and take the hit I guess. maybe he will take a settlement and enjoy his money for the rest of his life

Hurts is a bum

Who can be at all even a little surprised by this. tiny/Bama QB in the NFL….

Boom

This game stinks. Barkley running his mouth before the game about how the Giants done him wrong….

and as soon as he was cleared to play again, all such talk stopped...

good point! this team will never amount to anything...

It's a heartless look, considering how many players have died on the visitors side in the September Miami heat...

so was Rex Ryan...

I can personally vouch for the truth of this statement

Aren’t many of them in the AFC playoffs, unfortunately for McD and the Bills …..

He isn’t focused

he only stinks when he’s available, which isn’t often so it’s probably ok

Anthony Richardson does stink

Did they do him wrong by allowing to play the 2023 season?

he recovered. He went on the lead the league in passing the next season. sure they shouldn’t have put him back in that Bills game. But they didn’t. What was the outcome? He won his next 5 games in ‘22. your argument would make some sense if he had to retire, as a result of that big hit, at the end of the ‘22 season.

Hamlin received CPR during a game, and his return was the feel good story of the decade, despite medical science still knowing exactly happened to him (commotio cordis is a diagnosis of exclusion). Countless players have taken that same hit over the history of the league, how many went into cardiac arrest on the field? Yet everyone was saying he should play "if they clear him", ignoring the fact that their is no way for any medical evaluator to determine whether he is prone to this, or at higher risk of recurrence. they should have cut him?

Overwhelmingly, the comments about Tua were that his play didn't warrant a huge new contract. Posters here mocked the Dolphins for this. People weren't saying that he should retire (or not be resigned) because his life and health are at risk..... To get back to my point, they didn't care. Lots of people would just like to eliminate ANY threat in the division. Hence, crocodile tears.

"Remain amazed"? Were you saying this before week 1? until last Sunday, they didn't really need an "A-2". Why would they already have this in place? What team does?

And then he came back and lit it up last year....and no one cared about his concussions the year before any more

It won't be as easy for the medical staff to clear him as it would be to pointing to a neck injury on an MRI.. not really, no I'm not disagreeing about "fencing". But the NFL would say that wasold news--obviously he recovered and has played the rest of '22 and all of '23, just fine. That's not part of this discussion. Why do the Cowboys keep re-signing Dak? Dumb. WHy does any team re-sign their QB? WHy did the Falsons sign seriously injured Cousins? This isn't a discussion about contracts. What else are they going to do, cut Tua? Of course not---they are going to pay him. We all saw that. Then we saw him come back and win games that same season . The following season he won 11 games and was the top passer in the NFL last year. Absolutely no one was calling for Tua to retire at any point last year, even after his "fencing response" early in the previous season. So it makes no sense for posters here now to reference their response to his 2022 hit when decrying his current injury. It doesn't follow, logically. Not really. Other owners will not be in the room when/if he is cleared. These guys do NOT like to tell others how to run their business--unless the others are stealing from them (see Dan Snyder). The owners hate precedent setting (see Deshawn Watson) especially when it comes to money/contracts/roster making. If Tua is cleared, there is no way for Terry and Jerry to know if the CBA negotiated "ducks" are in a row. Simply because they absolutely don't want their colleagues nosing their way into future similar decisions they may need to make.

the owners are bound by the CBA. There's no mechanism for an owner to force a player to quit, other than (see below)... Yes, Wood failed a physical, based on radiological studies (he still planned on playing in the Pro Bowl). That won't be possible with Tua...
