Big Turk Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) Went from being a future HOF shoe-in to basically nothing in 2 years coinciding with an injury and then Brees retiring... And my fantasy team took another blow with this... Edited November 3, 2022 by Big Turk 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I read he has a dislocated toe and it didn’t respond to treatment all these weeks he’s been down. I tend to wonder if his guaranteed money was tied into play time if he would have played quite a bit more these last couple years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 The Saints are still likely tied to him for at least one more year. He has a $25M+ dead cap hit next year, but only $13M+ in 2024. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 He can still play too. We saw that the first couple of weeks. But can't stay healthy. Such a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transient Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I mean, it's the second toe, not the great toe, so if he really wanted to play there are other options... 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Boo Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 How do you dislocated a toe? I was ready to come in here and trash him, but what can you do about foot injuries? His whole game is predicated on precise route running. Near impossible to do with a nagging foot injury. Turf toe effectively ended Deion's career. It's a real thing.

Not sure but I've had something similar although not even to the level of turf toe and it was excruciating to put any weight on it at all, let alone try to walk or God Forbid try and run, block and cut quickly off it...IMO, football players are some of the toughest human beings on the planet with what they play through regularly.

Solomon Grundy Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I wonder how that toe would feel if he played in BUF/KC? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe fans lose the human element of football sometimes. If I sprained an ankle I'd be useless for no less than a week and that's just walking around the house. These guys will be back to playing one of the most brutal sports on Earth on a few days rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when Jairus Byrd sat out after being signed to the franchise tag with plantar fasciitis and we all laughed? About a year later I played a Sunday morning soccer game on a bone dry, rock hard, uneven, park field and the next day I woke up got out of bed and literally couldn't put my feet flat on the floor. I had plantar issues for about 6 months on the back of it and there would be days when walking was excruciating. I cannot imagine running around full speed on an NFL field with that injury. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
