he powered through a season ending oblique injury to deprive us of Nathan Peterman

So in 2019 he played like 3 Snaps for the Jets when Darnold was out and got hurt. Last year he made it through the season fine. This year he got hurt in pregame stretches. Such a weird combination/timing of injuries for him.

quote:

On Thursday the Justice Department announced a federal grand jury had returned an indictment charging disbarred attorney Phillip Howard, who represented more than 25 former players in the NFL concussion settlement, with racketeering. The charge, brought by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Tallahassee, Fla., alleges that Howard duped players into moving their retirement funds into a fraudulent network of investments known as the Cambridge Entities.

In a scheme to pocket some $4 million, according to the indictment, Howard allegedly shared false investment prospectuses, entrusted player funds to an employee once convicted of federal fraud charges, and used a former legal client with a revoked medical license to evaluate the players conditions.

...Howard is also accused of editing and drafting medical records for former NFL player clients “for the purpose of influencing whether the clients would qualify for a monetary award from the NFL concussion settlement.”

...According to public court records, Howard represented such retired NFL players as Detroit Lions linebacker Tracy Scroggins, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Quinn Gray, Baltimore Ravens cornerback Danny Gorrer, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Joe Horn and Miami Dolphins safety Shawn Wooden. He also represented Rose Stabler, the ex-wife of former Oakland Raiders quarterback Ken Stabler.

Once again this is the least weird thing about his NFL career existing to me. I'm not hating, I find it charming, it's just...well not what I would have expected his life to still have around in it at this point. Or to ever have had around in it in the first place.

Just thinking about the Rams, if Stafford gets a bad bill of health when they check out his throwing arm etc, with the concussion issues and decides to pull his own card. McVay probably says gently caress it and goes off to take the gazillion dollars Amazon have apparently offered him to be their czar of football programming and Donald probably retires too. That franchise could be hosed for like 5 years given they won't have a first rounder til 24 and won't have had one for 7 straight years.

I think out of the three, Donald definitely retires, McVay probably retires, and Stafford should retire if he doesn't decide to get surgery, plus:

I'll believe it when it happens. Either way get that surgery on your elbow Matt. It'd probably help for other things in life even if you do retire.

He's been in the league for a long while, but Staff is still only 34. Assuming he can get healthy over the offseason, there's no reason to think that he couldn't have at least a few more good seasons in him.

... Though then again, now that he's got a ring and the Rams are probably gonna suck the next few years, I could see him deciding to hang it up to preserve what remains of his health.

Hes kinda climbed the mountain though and while 34 (as a 34yr old) isn't old athletically for a QB I could for sure see the fire going out after you've done it all.

Hes got the cash, got the legacy and the ring. Really wouldn't surprise me.
