It’s clear Strong has a career threatening neck issue. This isn’t something that was solely caused by practice. He’s probably had an issue for many years, tweaked it in practice, and got a horrific MRI result when they investigated. It’s either multiple disk protrusions or spinal stenosis at the cervical level. I’m leaning more towards the stenosis issue because disks can be successfully dealt with (Eichel, Hyde), whereas stenosis it’s not so simple. Unfortunately I think his career is over. The young man should take the money and pursue a different career. It sucks, but he will have a solid financial launching pad that 99% of people in this country don’t have.

 

Wasn't the guy a 5th round pick?  How much of a bonus did he get?  And I doubt his contract is guaranteed.  That's not a large amount of money in the grand scheme of how much it costs to live in this era.

 

The money isn't nearly as big as having your dream cut short almost before it started.  That sucks.
