you only reach injury settlements with guys that actually injured....Tony's fracture will heal in 6-10 weeks.....it is not a career ending injury by any means....they won't owe him any more money after this year but will have huge cap hits whether he retires, stays or get cut
I was answering the question as it pertained to this year. Retire, cut, or stay....he's getting the base salary this year.
As for his injury being career-ending, I'm not sure how you can say it couldn't be considered as such. Because it will heal? Not sure that makes a bit of difference because nearly all injuries do heal eventually. Aikman's injuries are probably healed by now. So what do you call an injury that heals but also precludes the player from being able to effectively play his position? That's not career-ending?
I mean, dumb it down enough and all you would really have would be paralysis and death.
