The cap goes up every year. If the guy plays like Reggie White when he comes back, it's not gonna matter what they're paying him, they're gonna happily pay it. I don't think that's likely though, I've seen a few guys injure their back doing some kind of workout (Eben Britton) and never come back the same. Back surgery is never gonna be good no matter what it is, but it's especially bad news for 250+ pound monster athletes competing against each other.


I hope he makes a full recovery, even though he might kill Bortles if he does. He's a good player and a decent guy.
