I'm glad to hear he's doing better, and hope that he is able to continue getting whatever help he needs during the season.

I also think it was good that the team supported him, not pushing his contract a year, etc. But I do think they should have been able to put him on LTIR. Mental health issues are health issues, and it doesn't seem fair to me to punish the team's cap situation because they did the right thing.

Given the equipment allergies/LTIRetirements this doesn't seem like a reach at all to me.
