He needs to seriously consider retirement. Multiple injuries to the head/brain in the span of 5 months is not to be taken lightly. He's got 30 mil plus, would undoubtedly have a place as an analyst for college ball.
I get that to be in the NFL you have to have a competitor's edge that I can't identify with, but he really needs to think of quality of life post NFL.

at minimum, the NFL should require players who get a 2nd concussion in one season to be placed on IR.

If you watched him play this past weekend, he is definitely not seeing the field at all. He should be IR ed and undergo extensive testing. And the Dolphins organization should be under major investigation.

I'm no doctor by any stretch. But from what I've heard that many concussions in that short a time period is a very, very serious medical concern. I can't imagine being in his spot, still so young, real shot at being a bigtime NFL QB.
But I'd venture a guess that he better give strong consideration to hanging up his cleats.
