OT: Jason Worilds retires

[Solar7]

A guy many of us were thinking might be a Cardinals target. Narrows the field for Orakpo.

Probably to "pursue his faith."

Probably a smart move. He's not good, he has enough money to be comfortable and shouldn't have much miles on him to complicate things later in life.

Probably to "pursue his faith."

And what would be wrong with that?

Wtf

To each their own. Not going to hate on a guy walking away from millions, clearly has other plans in life.

Probably a smart move. He's not good, he has enough money to be comfortable and shouldn't have much miles on him to complicate things later in life.

You've got an interesting definition of "not good". But he's made around 13M over his career before taxes, so as long as he was halfway smart with his money he's set from here on out.

obviously he is not a golfer...or he would have signed with the birds.....

 

[Kel Varnsen]

And what would be wrong with that?

Wasn't judging. Just passing along what Steeler fans were discussing.

He is apparently a Jehovah's Witness.

But I do wonder if we're going to see more early retirements because of the risk of brain injuries. Might make sense to play out one contract, make a lot of money, and leave the sport.

 

[Iceman]

He walked away from A LOT of money!

 

[NJCardFan]

He walked away from A LOT of money!

For some it's not about the money.

I'm glad we didn't pursue him. Sounds like he had no passion for football. Probably why the Steelers let he walk so easy as well
