Looks like the Jake Long era in Miami is about to end. Unfortunate, but we'll move on.
Can't blame him. NFL is a business.
Dude only has a few years left to make money off of football. In addition now with all the concusion talks and shorter life spans players are basically putting a price tag on his health.
Who on this board would take say $20 mill knowing they will only live to be say....65?

I will gladly take 20 mil and die at 55 instead of 75.
I just turned 50 so that would be tough for me to agree too.
Probably depend alot on your current age.

To some people money is more important then anything else and that is really sad.20 million to miss your kids turn into adults
20 million to miss your grandkids grow up
20 million to miss the world change
20 million to miss 20 years of the only life you have
20 million and the list goes on.
Probably find a lot more people on this planet willing to give most everything they have (financially) for those 20 years than you will find willing to sell them.
