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.
Agreed, but I don't think that's the case with Al. Last I had heard he and his agent were actively shopping his services around the league. That could've changed though.
