Herc Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Unless he was facing a cut he's giving up huge money. Glad to see him put his health first if that's the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Unless he was facing a cut he's giving up huge money. Glad to see him put his health first if that's the case I think his health and the fact he plays for the Detroit Lions factored into his decision. Kinda the same route Barry Sanders had, guy was the best in the game, retired early because what's the point of risking your body for a team that will never win anything. Sad as it is to see.

Storm Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 That dude had so much left. I cant imagine being that dominant and going out never winning anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 That dude had so much left. I cant imagine being that dominant and going out never winning anything. Like I said, Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Johnson, etc. Losing just takes a toll on some guys, I mean you can only carry a shitty team for so long before it starts wearing on you I would imagine. Some players can probably shrug it off, others the paycheck helps but maybe these guys just realize they will never win on their current team and maybe they are just to loyal to jump ship.

Lughead Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Wonder what it would take to bring him to the Giants. How would that work out with his contract negation he gave the Lions and Do they still hold any rights to him? What did he leave in the Table something like 15 mill?

Herc Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 A lot more than that. They'd prob want to cut him if he came back amyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
