Yes, if Jordan Reed does not care about his future health and cares more about the money, that is his choice to make. Nobody can make that decision for him.
But the team can decide as some point that enough is enough.
It is scientifically proven that your brain become more susceptible to concussion with each subsequent concussion. Your brain becomes weaker and more loose in your head, you do not recover from that or have a surgery to correct it like a loose joint.
If things continue on their current track there will reach a point that his concussions will be more and more frequent. He will miss more time and the team may decide they do want to invest a multi-Million dollar salary cap slot on a player that if you breath on him too heavy will get a concussion and miss significant time.
That is when it becomes ok for the FO and skins fans to talk about this serious situation.
Yes, today Reed is probably ok and for now on his way to recovery. But a 26 year old having at least 6 concussions and he plays NFL football, it is probable that he will get hit hard on the head again soon and this repeats.
I hope he is smart enough to start looking now at optional careers after football.
