I'm sure once he signed his contract, his agent as got him another insurance policy that covers him incase of a freak accident. I believe it is standard procedure. If he never play a down or throws a ball professionally, his disability insurance plus what he makes doing whatever he does in the future will allow him to live a better life than most people.

RT @NYPost_Hubbuch: Chad Jones' agent says doctors are optimistic that Jones can return to football as soon as next year (2011).

Dandy Don reported circulation and feeling in his leg (and with the possibility of walking soon), so any positive news is worth a nanner or two or three!!!!! God Bless #3.

I have read some of the statements and wanted to give you info that I know. His lawyer has told me that no alcohol or drugs were found on Chad, in Chad, or in his car.
If he doesnt play football again, you think he can pitch in the big leagues?

"Asked what he thought Jones' chances of playing for the Giants in 2011, Arceneaux [his agent] said, 'I'm optimistic. I would like to hope so. He's such a great athlete. I think if anybody could pull it off and come back from this, it would be Chad.'"

"As I've always said, the things that got Chad to this point - his attitude, his discipline, his desire, the things that you can put together in one person's heart and his mind - are all the same tools and abilities that will get him out of it." - Al Jones, Chad Jones' Dad.

From the article -
It's good to know that he's got a little money in the bank. I hope he had medical insurance.

Two weeks ago, Jones signed a contract with the Giants for approximately $2 million over four years. The guaranteed money in that contract will be his $825,000 signing bonus, according to Arceneaux.

Orel Herscheiser thought so during last year's CWS. LINK Watch and listen from about 2:25 to 2:45 for his comments in this regard.
He repeated his comments during game 3 of the Texas series. See/listen to 8:00 to 8:10 of the same clip.
