And how much did the Patriots spend for Brady the year he was out? or How much did Pittsburgh spend when Big Ben was suspended? You make the contracts, and players play, but when they have a legitimate injury, then that just sucks, nothing more nothing less. The Ravens have 9 million dead money for Ray Rice. 7.5million for Haloti Ngata, who is currently playing on a different team.
If DJax didn't give it everything when he was on the field I understand. If he was a Malcolm Kelly who let every injury linger, I get it. But Djax goes out burns his body when he's on the field.
He had one season 2012, where he missed 5 games. He typically misses 1 or two, having played all 16 in only 2 of his seasons as a pro. I think he ought to get some benefit of the doubt that something is specifically wrong even if the team isn't being forthcoming on what it is...
doesn't make him a bum.
