He doesn't have back problems...he had a neck injury..and I'm not sure he's cleared to play either.
I love that guy. One of the greatest leaders the Broncos have ever had and a fantastic linebacker to boot.

Agreed, Al Wilson has been my favorite definsive player in the last 10 years.
I still remember him stuffing that Oakland back (was it Ritchie?) in mid air on 4th and 1 on Sunday night football. And remember he was a huge leader back to his UT days.
I suspect that at some point you have enough money and enough hits and injuries that you just say screw it, I'm watching TV on Sundays instead. The NFL is such a grind both physically and mentally ... that and having the begeezus scared out of you right after a neck injury might be enough to just pack it in.
