Next man up!
thoughts? suggestions?
That's a little harsh. Few of us can relate to the kind of punishment they have to take in order to play in the NFL. When you see former players having difficulty walking or with brain trauma leading to mental illness or even suicide I can't blame anyone for wanting to leave the game with their health rather than find a way to get every last snap out of their body.
AD sounds more like he wants to take some time off and heal up and then consider a comeback rather than being forced to take the field before his inuries have properly healed. Understandable. borland was more of a surprise but it looks like he has decided the risk is simply to great and it is doubtful he will consider a comeback.
If either wants to make a comeback next season I would welcome them back. If we have already replaced them with near equal talent or better we could always trade them.
