30 years old. Rich as can be. Reached the ultimate goal in professional sports life. Go out on top. Why not? 

[Special K]

With what players know about head injuries, expect to see a lot of “early retirements” over the coming years.

Eh, Just like with McVeay I'll believe it when I see it. This whole week of "Super Bowl coverage" has been nothing but media overblowing every little thing a guy says and putting clickbait titles out (of which no one actually reads the stories and gains VERY strong opinions just off said headline)

I would if I were him

$100 million earned. Easy TV money waiting. Go out on top? Definitely.

 

I don't know how these guys do it post 30 years old with tens of millions in the bank.

There are a lot of things you would do if you were him.😉

All the Rams players and coaches know that they mortgage the future for is one game. They see the writing on the wall. 

 

I wouldn't be surprised if they go fire sale this offseason

[davefan66]

He’s only 8 years in??

 

I thought he was 10 or more.

[TBBills]

Would be funny if they all retired and left the Rams with no future b.c the mortgaged it.

But give them some cap to bring Beckham or maybe Miller back.

I think people underestimate how much the way of life becomes something you can't give up easily. I think a lot of players would be better off if they could let go and stop earlier.

This is the last chance for them. Things are about to catch up.

You have to remember most players barely have a college education and have nothing to do after the NFL as been one think been working toward most of their lives. If didn't invest wisely what you going to do for 30-40 more years after retire from NFL

That’s what people said 6-7 years ago, but it hasn’t happened.

You probably right but never say never

If he does I would see it as a cosmic shift in the way people are thinking these days.  The point of work is to live, if I could retire after 8 years and be set for life, there’s no way I’d continue to work, why should we expect it to be different for these guys?  The allure of money is there, but what good is money of you beat your body to a pulp and can’t enjoy life with it?
