He is concerned of long term effects of head trauma.. So he's done. 49ers fans know where the bridge is if they want to jump it. Wow, worst offseason collapse ive ever seen. Good news though for 49ers fans, Kaepernick has a good ab workout? :lol:

Insane... I get health is a concern... but there has to be bigger issues behind the scene in SF

We're all here because we're all not there.

Honestly he looked like a defensive ROY candidate last season. And they lost that kind of talent in one season. Goodness

Lots of early retirements this offseason. I've never seen this before in the NFL.

Probably wise decision.

Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.

Mostly linebackers too. Those guys getting there heads smashed in on a play by play basis. We look at the money and say they're crazy, but I can't imagine the pain they go through. That article on Jason Taylor after he almost had to have his leg amputated in Washington was eye opening.

im positive the NFL will set new tackling rules that will forever change the way the game is played soon enough... No use of chest, just hand grab knockdowns.
