Damaged goods!
The more concussion you get the more prone you are to get another one. The stability of his brain in his skull is comprised, you do not recover form this type of condition. Troy Aikman had to retire due to reoccurring concussions and has was just a QB.
The amount of contact a MLB in the NFL has to endure Zach Thomas can not make it through a season much less a a game or two with out getting another concussion.
His career is almost over. Any team that signs him is making a big mistake. Regardless if you pay him the vet minimum, he will not last more than a game or two.
Trent Green the QB has the same condition, but he is a QB, which takes less of a pounding and the NFL has rules in place to protect QB's and their heads. MLB's do not.
