If I’m Tua, I’m taking my money and my ass to the Hawaiian islands and never playing football again. It’s not worth it, that’s just way too many head injuries for a young man with his whole life in front of him.
It’s highly unlikely that if if he voluntarily retires he gets any of his new contract. It seems plausible he might even have to forfeit some of his signing bonus. [Reply]

He got $20M guaranteed and $23M for hs 5th year option.
He’ll be fine if he quits. He’ll be neurologically fucked if he continues playing. Kid can’t keep his head out of mortal danger. [Reply]
His brained essentially turned off twice, if he comes back I’ll have no sympathy regarding any future injuries. Take care of yourself, you have kids. [Reply]

Eventually he’s cut, and tada he gets the full guaranteed amount.
Berry did this. Mother ****er.
There are definitely ways to guarantee himself he at least gets a large portion of the money. Maybe if he’s forced to retire he keeps some as well. But I see no way he just voluntarily walks away when he can do things such as you say. [Reply]
I'm tired of watching this guy turn himself into a vegetable on live TV. At this point I'm worried he's going to get the Antonio Brown personality change.
I sincerely hope he gets the fuck out ASAP. [Reply]
Completely his fault. That wasn't just a matter of not sliding. He lowered his head and initiated contact with the crown of his helmet. If the NFL cares about concussions, that should be an offensive penalty. [Reply]
