do you know the long term effects of repeated head injuries? perhaps he spoke with his medical team, family, etc and decided he would like to be at the airport when he was 40 and not think he was at the train station...
Do you know he hasn't had a concussion since 10th grade? If he was Welker, I understand. This just wreaks of bitchassness

Immediately called someone with the @49ers and this is the first they've heard about Borland retiring.

Honestly I don't understand why more players aren't taking the money, playing a couple of seasons and getting out. The money it too high.
The money isn't that high until you're on your second contract. Borland probably brought home less than half a mil for his career, good money for a year but not transforming your life.

As a rookie back-up LB, yes.
quote:
When Patrick Willis’ injury against the Rams presented the former Wisconsin Badger with an opportunity, he grabbed it and never looked back. In spite of only playing 487 snaps (40th among inside linebackers), Borland earned our fourth-highest grade at his position and got through a work rate in terms of tackles and stops compared to many full season starters.
His 54 defensive stops were topped by only six other inside linebackers (all of whom played at least 997 snaps). When you factor in his playing time his run stop percentage (21.3%) dwarfs any other inside linebacker, including Rolando McClain’s work as a two-down linebacker in Dallas. His work in coverage wasn’t as strong as his work against the run, though it was by no means the weakness you occasionally see from rookie linebackers. Had Borland played a full season, or perhaps even been healthy for the last two weeks of the season, he would have been a closer challenger to the top two defensive rookies.

You would think that after all these years that guys in the NFL would just say frick it and keep playing.
Don't blame him though. Money isn't everything, and nothing can replace a healthy mind.

Sportrac has it right at a million.
Posted on 3/16/15 at 9:25 pm to lsutigers1992
Wait did he have any injury or condition or he's just retiring based on the risk?

"Diagnosed" concussion, according to the article.
Are we really going to pretend he didn't cut at least one in Wisconsin and just played through?

Sweet

thats crazy. seemed like he could have toughed it out for a few years till he got the payday then quit after a year or two making 5 million or so.

This is the curse of Jim Harbaugh that Jed York never saw coming.... Should have listened to the fans... now we suffer.
