As a panthers fan Im pretty sad but he was super prone to concussions so Im glad he got out while he still has his marbles.

I wonder if this is the new trend in the NFL of players retiring by 30.

damn, thats sad. K was a great linebacker.

good for him for making the right decision for his mental health. we dont need more tragedies.

Well shit, it's either that or die by 50.

Guess he didn't eat enough Brussels sprouts

I agree, with the amount of money you can make in your second contract its smart just to take what you can and get out by 30.

Luke got it right. Personally I think Cam should retire too.

I applaud any player who retires this early tbh

Sadly he's had so many concussions already that he's already in trouble. Stopping the brain trauma is never a bad thing, though.

Big Panthers fan. Sad to see him go but it's definitely the right call given the amount of concussions he's had.

Football is such a garbage sport. 11-12mins of action out of 3 or 4 hours of watching. What a fucking joke

Yeah, no. The commercials have seriously sapped football of enjoyment, but 11-12 minutes? Do you even know what football looks like?

I like football but I dont really watch full games anymore. The NFL channel on yt has short vids, about 10 min long, that show all the touchdowns, big plays, big hits, shit like that. Its perfect for me.

Imagine paying $500 for a football ticket and having the play stopped every 2 minutes for tv commercials

It's crazy how much Panthers are losing with Cam most likely on his way out. They'll literally have no one but McCaffrey next year

They need to cut Cam loose and then tank for Trevor Lawrence.

Klobuchar is embarrassing my state with what a bootlicker she is for Iowa.

She wouldn't even say that the Minnesota State Fair is better than the Iowa State Fair.

Edit: So I'm obviously in the wrong topic.

But is she retiring from the NFL?

Dang. He was a powerhouse and one of the few good things for our team this year.

Sucks to hear, but I completely understand

she has strong opinions about a state fair but what does she think of early retirements from the nfl?

We are going to be seeing a lot of this with all of the information coming out about the dangers of head injuries, especially among high-paid NFL players. Get your money and get out before your brain is scrambled.
