Eric Reid says he’s considered retiring because of concussions

Niners safety Eric Reid is readying to play another season, but he acknowledged Tuesday that he has given some thought to leaving the NFL because of the three concussions he suffered in his first two seasons.
“Everybody evaluates their own situation as far as playing this game,” Reid said. “I’ve evaluated mine and I’ve decided I still want to play.” quote:
Reid had two concussions in the first nine games of his rookie season, but didn’t miss a game. He suffered his third last year in the first quarter of a Dec. 20 loss to the Chargers. He said he was medically cleared to play in the regular-season finale against Arizona, but sat out because the 49ers had been eliminated from postseason contention.
“I just decided it wasn’t worth possibly getting another concussion for a game that wouldn’t advance us,” Reid said. “So I decided to sit that one out.”

Don't blame these players for wanting to protect themselves and their futures.

Seems to be something else going on in San Fran for all of these players to be considering retirement from the same team compared to others.

Yeah it's very odd that it's seemingly only San fran dealing with this at such a large scale.

Yea, they prob have some medical staff in that organization that's influencing these players. I understand it's their choice and it's an admirable one, but if I was the 49ers organization I would clean house on my medical staff. This culture of awareness and responsibility is bad for football business.

It does make you wonder what the hell is going on over there. Man talk about going from the mountain top to the gutter quickly.
I will say when do you say enough is enough? 1st, 2nd, 3rd or after your 4th concussion?

I don't want to see him retire, but it would be hiliarious for another 49er to retire this offseason.

At this point the 49er organization should just retire from football........for concussion reasons
Posted on 6/10/15 at 8:34 am to Nissanmaxima
Actually, Reid was pissed on Twitter for this guy twisting his words. He never said anything about retirement.

Money rocks. Health >>>>>>> Money. Depending on what your life experience has been, you may not agree with this.

I wouldn't say that before I sign my next deal after rookie contract is over
Harbaugh must have run some brutal off and in season practices

Can't blame someone for wanting to live past the game.

The only problem with San fran is they are drafting smart players who know there is life after football.

If I had 3 concussions in two years, I'd have to think very, very seriously about quitting. I guess it would also depend on the severity of the concussions.
All concussions are serious, but having 3 in a short time span is really bad. But I realize it's his choice and he has to balance the risk of future health issues against his desire to play and the money to be made.
