It was the right decision for him IMO.
YoloinOhio Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Good luck, AJ. The Stanford education will be valuable and I wish him peace with his decision.
Kirby Jackson Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Best of luck to him!! Football is a tough game. That's why I never fault guys for holding out for more money or retiring early. Your earning years and small and your health risks large. Get what you can get and get out healthy.
JoeF Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Can't fault this-- 2 concussions last year and the 3rd and 4th of his career...he has memories from those last two games he can pass to his kids and grandkids. Good luck kid!

NoSaint Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Do we save any $$$? When a second year udfa that spent time on the practice squad retires it's hard to replace him with a guy making less money. Odds are we break even with another league minimum no guaranteed money guy.
Jerry Jabber Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Can't say I blame him. Nothing is more important than your health.
Augie Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Wish him all the best. Brutal sport, smart guy. Move on to the next chapter.
Southern Bills Fan Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 4 concussions. Good decision to retire. Good luck in the future AJ.
YoloinOhio Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) Do we save any $$$?he was due to make 500-600k, but probably not in top 51 so cap likely not really affected. Edited April 7, 2016 by YoloinOhio
BuffaloBill Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Good luck to him...tough break but he made the right decision.
DDD Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Good luck, AJ. The Stanford education will be valuable and I wish him peace with his decision. Just read that Stanford is the most difficult college in the US to be accepted to. Acceptance rate is statistically 0%
sodbuster Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) His cap hit was so low, we might actually lose space because of this. Good decision by him though. He got to live his dream, and I'm sure he'll find success in future endeavors. Edited April 7, 2016 by sodbuster
Mr. WEO Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Smart to get out now with his mind and body intact. Current scientific opinion says it's already too late... Just read that Stanford is the most difficult college in the US to be accepted to. Acceptance rate is statistically 0% LOL, I love this place....
