Happened to Jon Dorenbos a few years ago. Traded from the Eagles to the Saints, his Saints physical found an aeoritc aneurysm that needed to be operated on, and ended his football career.
Will be interesting to find out the details that led to the Correa deal falling through and him ending up in NY.
Yea it possibly saved his life. He retired as an Eagle after that, and Philly loves him so that was nice. I think he even got a Superbowl Ring the following year even though he wasn’t playing anymore. Now he can focus more on his magic career, which is is actually really good at.
GMs are in place to take the shit so owners don’t have to. I’m pretty sure Zaidi was good with this deal, but he’s not the one who signs the checks in the end. Someone got skittish. It also seems like a deal that the Giants were just taking too long to make a decision on the medicals and Boras fucked them.
In any case, I’m super curious to find out what the real issue is. People are surprised Correa so quickly and happily signed for less money, but what are the NY tax laws? My guess is that it’s a wash for him in the end.
