Tua

[George Cantstandya]

That's tough and I wish the best for him.  As many say he probably needs to explore retiring.  He's only 26 years old and has a lot of life ahead of him.  But also if he retires there is a lot of money on the line:

Quote:"Financially, that's gonna be tough," Corry says. "He got $93.17 million guaranteed at signing. If he's gonna walk away voluntarily, then the 2025 guarantees will void. He's got $50 million guaranteed in 2025. Do you wanna walk away from that? Retirement voids guarantees. Now, the Dolphins could honor the guarantee if they chose to. Most teams don't do that. ... It gets worse: His $42 million signing bonus is at risk. When you retire, the remaining proration of the bonus, or about $33.6 million, can be recouped."

In the end, were Tagovailoa to voluntarily retire, Corry believes the Dolphins would be unlikely to pursue a full return on the remainder of the quarterback's signing bonus. Still, given the anticipated void in guarantees, he estimates Tagovailoa would be walking away from a total of $124 million, barring some kind of drastic settlement negotiated with the team.

"If I'm him, I don't voluntarily retire immediately," Corry says. "I'm gonna buy myself more time. Typically, when it comes to being cleared to return, it's at the discretion of the team doctor. But you could be looking at a grievance situation if there's another opinion. This thing can potentially get messy."

Of course you can't put a dollar amount on having a healthy quality of life.   I'd hope if he chooses his health over playing that the Dolphins would do something right by him.
