The average NFL career is what 3 years? He’s a sharp individual with a good future. Apparently he doesn’t want to play another position and he knows the implications of that decision. I’d say thats his choice and leave out the insults.

"I’d say thats his choice and leave out the insults."

I was not insulting him. "Beggars can't be choosers" is an old expression, not a literal statement of what a person is. In ordinary usage it means, "Someone who is at a disadvantage must take what he can get rather than insisting on what he wants." I think that is a statement of fact, not an insult.
