Lets be real for a moment. they went to the playoffs 5 times. They won a SB. They went to a second and nearly won another. Sure they should have won it but that the way it goes sometimes. If they played for the Jets or Browns then they really would have something to bitch. Think Avril would have rather played here for 4 years or stayed in Detroit?Vpk0718":l6idifvb said:So glad we wasted their peak years with these piles of feces as coaches
So if it's one they could play again but if other then time to say goodbye..?BigBill1945":2dd9woe8 said:My specialty is the spine. Based on the information (sparse as it is) I would not recommend that they continue playing. Both apparently had bilateral paresthesias in the arms. This suggests possible trauma to the cord. It could be anything from a disc protrusion onto the central cord to a contusion. The nerves that pass out laterally in the cervical spine can produce symptoms into the arms but typically it is unilateral only affecting the level where nerve exits the spine.. Discs are more common in their age group with trauma. Having not seen their MRI, it is only a guess on the possibilities as the information is pretty limited.

And would they still count against the cap, or would it free up their money?

If they retire you don't get any comp picks and it would free up their money for other players. Cutting Avril makes lot of sense if he doesn't want to retire.

Those contracts could buy some quality linemen.
