For crying out loud, isn’t a person’s health more important than a “game”??? And if he does play and gets hurt, then who will sue who????

What potential ‘liability’ could the organization face if something went very bad in Collins’ return? Lawsuits? NFL disciplinary action? I’m trying to understand what that one word, liability, is about in this case. Also, ignoring the obvious need at the position, it would be irresponsible for the team to just assume Collins will be and healthy for years to come.

Remember Rolf Wolf’s comments when Sterling Sharpe wanted to return after a similar injury? Granted, different case, but Wolf said, ‘it’s our opinion that Sterling Sharpe should not play football anymore’. Case closed, done. Move on.

We have to take into consideration the whole picture, even the parts we as outsiders don’t see clearly.

I would never want anyone to put their health at stake for the sake of anything, so I think Nick should just retire. I’m a diehard Packer fan and it pains me to lose him as he’s been one of our best, and one of my favorite, players. That being said…if he’s going to come back regardless, take him back. If he’s going to play anyway, I’d rather be rooting for him in the G&G. Good luck and best wishes to him in whatever path he chooses.

[...] Although it appears Collins wants to play, he'll need to be cleared by his doctor, which seems likely, and the team, which isn't guaranteed. [...]

The image or persona of the Packers organization is one of a small town “family-like” team. Its good to see the GM and head coach are actually like that. Would it be better if they duct taped is neck back together and put him in back on the field early?

Thank you. Your first “paragraph” is exactly what I was saying.

I find this hard to believe. If Collins wants to play next year, he’ll play whether it’s for the Packers or not. The point here is that TT and MM won’t be protecting him if he ends up on another team — and if you aren’t protecting him, why get rid of him?

If Collins wants to play, he’ll suit up for the Packers.

It is “conscience.”
