eball Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Just now, The Poojer said: but he flat out said no amount of rehab, surgery or recovery would heal the injury, sounds like he knows he can't play anymore Irrelevant. If they do something sneaky to avoid a big cap hit they'll need to have "evidence" that retirement wasn't the only option.
Virgil Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 I feel like we are missing a lot of information here. I’m glad to know he wasn’t playing through something diagnosed early in the season that was more threatening and ignored. I thought I read that he planned to retire regardless of this development, but haven’t seen it referenced since. Overall, I there is a mistake and he can play next year. If not, I hope this is the day he wanted and it wasn’t adjusted because of cap reasons. He deserves a good send off 1

I think the press conference would have happened on-time if that were the reason....also Wood would not have invited so many players to the conference. Likely a second opinion came in, and he wants to keep playing.

Inartfully worded, he should have said "days removed". That sounds like before.
plenzmd1 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 funny, I never listen to Murph..but are callers really this stupid all the time? One guy just suggested they keep him on the roster and just not dress him every week.
26CornerBlitz Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Rather strange to have the media, family, teammates, coaches, etc assembled then read a statement that says you're not formally retired. Should have waited until a 100% formal announcement and for the time being just stick with the released statement. This was botched. 1 1

If it's true he got "numerous second opinions," that's a clear indication that he wants to keep playing.

Wayne Cubed Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Like I said earlier in the thread. I’m wondering if what happened Friday derailed a lot of what was going to be said today.

Doc Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 I think he found out that the team wants him to either forfeit the 2018 guaranteed salary or pay back the $4.3M in unamortized bonus, which they are entitled to do and would help with the cap hit for next year.

ndirish1978 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 I mean something obviously happened that delayed this pc for so long. If I'm not mistaken, Wood, McDermott and Beane and showed up pretty much right before he read his statement. If I'm correct about that it sounds like they were sitting somewhere discussing something we're not privy to.
