It's not an if in my mind. He has played his last game in my opinion.

It's actually been quite incredible that he has played this long but Samuels was never going to be able to outrun the inevitable bone changes that occur with age. Coupled with his preexisting spinal stenosis; it was only a matter of time until he became symptomatic. Once these symptoms occur--his risk for complications, i.e. paralysis, jumps up even further. Therefore, I am sure his docs are strongly advising he hang it up now.
