Why couldn't he just get Tommy John's son-in-law surgery and keep playing?

I imagine after hip surgery and his age he said fuck this during the rehab necessary to get that $1M check.

Gotta be tough to rehab from that and get healthy enough to play 5-10 snaps a game for a million.

at least i presume they'll go get somebody who can do this. for some reason whether it's the angelo or the emery regime i have faith in the bears to go out and get guys like punters and longsnappers and even kickers.
