JB could have played another 3-5 years and bumped up his pension.
He is a rich man and doesn’t need the NFL. But there are a LOT of offensive/defensive lineman and running backs who took a beating and are on hard times now. I get that it’s entertainment and no one forced them to play football. And I also get that they all probably could have taken their free college more seriously and gone into other professions or tired to get a job within the NFL. The analogy to the NBA is laughable. The NBA has 12 players on a the roster. The NFL has almost 100 between regular and practice players. Can’t compare the two.
