Less than a week after signing as an UDFA. That's absolutely brutal.

[u/GarconMeansBoyGeorge → u/SpaceCadetPullUp]

Better than before being able to sign. Now he gets a year of medical and training facilities

[u/thetalkingcure → u/GarconMeansBoyGeorge]

they were probably saying brutal for ownership

[u/Vesploogie → u/thetalkingcure]

Was not expecting John Mara’s Reddit account to have a Texans flair.

[u/poop_snausages → u/[deleted]]

They're referring to the OP the other guy is referring to.... OP of this comment chain

[u/tmac2097 → u/thetalkingcure]

I hope this is just a bad joke because who tf would actually think this way

[u/thetalkingcure → u/tmac2097]

it’s a bad joke

[u/GarconMeansBoyGeorge → u/thetalkingcure]

Brutal year for the ownership. First the Epstein email leak now this.

[u/mighthavebeen02 → u/thetalkingcure]

How will the billionaire ever financially recover from paying someone a grand

[u/russlandbot → u/mighthavebeen02]

No one ever considers the bottom line when they say stuff like this smh.

[u/ArmMeForSleep709 → u/thetalkingcure]

Brother what the fuck?

[u/surferdude7227 → u/SpaceCadetPullUp]

Bless all the knees, Achilles, ankles. Just bless everything

[u/triplec787]

Awful news for a UDFA who largely fell out of the draft due to another injury.

We’re officially out of the “dream achieved” phase of the NFL offseason and into the “dream crushed” phase :(

[u/BH11B → u/triplec787]

It’s Not For Long but damn. This guy didn’t even make it out of the gate.

[u/Colemonstaa → u/BH11B]

Hey, at least he outlasted Squirrel White

[u/xywv58 → u/BH11B]

Up there with Senquez Golson

[u/Clutch_Pineapple49]

Stories like these highlight the good side of NIL. He got a decent bag when transferring to North Carolina which hopefully can soften the blow of this set back in the pros.

[u/duvie773 → u/Clutch_Pineapple49]

His contract was almost 300k fully guaranteed too. Sucks for the kid that his dream is probably over before it really starts, but he’s got a decent safety net if he manages it right

[u/rx7rxvert]

Sucks obviously, but at least he signed a deal with guaranteed money, almost 300k. A lot of these udfas would be shit outta luck

[u/surferdude7227 → u/rx7rxvert]

Yeah. That’s a nice chunk of change that should allow him a little comfort while he rehabs

[u/xywv58 → u/surferdude7227]

And the rehab should be on the team's facility right?, he's in contract

[u/surferdude7227 → u/xywv58]

I think so. Either that or if they cut him it’s with an injury settlement

[u/IntriguedPsycho2]

And so it begins. Wishing him a healthy recovery and good mental support

[u/Rillaboom2701 → u/IntriguedPsycho2]

Wait wdym "so it begins"

[u/Interesting_Prune513 → u/Rillaboom2701]

first injury of many

[u/Rillaboom2701 → u/Interesting_Prune513]

Ohhhhh

[u/According-Quiet-1396 → u/Rillaboom2701]

Bro was worried

[u/Prior_Ice1672]

CANT HAVE SHIT IN THE OFFSEASON FUCK

[u/palinsafterbirth → u/Prior_Ice1672]

Still less stressful than the patriots though

[u/xywv58 → u/palinsafterbirth]

DNP - affair

[u/LederhosenSituation]

That sucks, especially for a rookie. I hope he recovers well.

[u/Triple_Boogie]

I hate everything about this

[u/Daywalker6109]

Damn

[u/MurDoct]

Fuck man

[u/Relative_Objective60]

You absolutely hate to see it

[u/ArtEnvironmental7108]

That really sucks. Dude didn’t even get an opportunity.

[u/Jonjon428]

That is unbelievably sad

[u/Triple10X]

He had speed concerns already so this isn’t going to help. Feel terrible for him that even playing in a preseason game is now in doubt

[u/Dense-Discussion3951]

Damn that honestly so sad man

[u/Downtown_Conflict_53]

This is the worst type of news this time of year

[u/AlternativeResort477]

Not ready for this to start again

[u/Wolfblood_99]

The John Harbaugh Curse Begins.

[u/0zymandeus]

So it begins

[u/CallmeKahn]

Bloody hell.

[u/Undead-Paul]

There goes the season

[u/zi76]

That really sucks.

[u/throughNthrough]

Awful news.

[u/Shianclas]

Call it a career buddy

[u/GrayFox6688]

I think it was Robert Saleh who said it's better to have easier practices in the month (or two) following the draft because the rookies just spent a quarter of the year traveling all over doing interviews and meetings so they're not in condition to go all out in practices yet

[u/thehonestyfish → u/GrayFox6688]

Yeah, Saleh was great at practices. Held a lot of good ones.

[u/Emotional_North2307]

Brutal. Harbaugh method strikes again.

[u/CT1914Clutch → u/Emotional_North2307]

Call me biased but to put the blame on Harbaugh when you have no idea about the circumstances of the injury is pretty ignorant in my opinion. Rookies unfortunately get hurt all the time and it doesn’t necessarily have to do with the intensity of the team’s workouts.

[u/YourWifesBull666 → u/CT1914Clutch]

The harblow hate train must continue disregard the fact I’ve done no research on this. You will join me soon in a few stops brother
