Saints’ Chris Olave to Seek Opinion of Specialists to Determine NFL Future

  1. Good for this kid. He needs answers and this is great if he doesn’t rush back this year. Who cares about the season, let’s hope this kid gets closure on these issues and he comes out clean.

  2. Take the rest of the year off, see multiple specialist, get everything correct, then determine if you’re coming back to the NFL

  3. Yeah I think we’d all prefer him to stay off of the field for the rest of the season. 5 concussions in 4 years is fucking insane, even for professional fighters. I love football and everything but I don’t want to watch someone die on live television ever again.

  4. As much as I like Olave, I would never want to see someone so young risk the rest of their cognitive life. I think he should retire. Sucks that he didn’t get the next big contract, but if the Saints have a modicum of decency, they’ll take care of him.

  5. hopefully i’m wrong but i think he’s gonna play, it’s hard walking away from ur dreams & millions on top of that… Idk if we resign him but he’s my first saints jersey :/

  6. Yeah, sounds like they want him to take his time and see the specialists outside the building to make a decision. I think he’s ultimately going to go on IR after a few weeks and sit out the rest of the year, which he should do. They just want him to focus on his health before making any football decisions.

  7. Honestly, I feel the same way about Olave after this last hit that I do Tua. They should retire and not end up with jello for brains.

  8. Honestly, with what we’re learning about CTE, I can’t imagine any medical professional advising someone to continue damaging their brain. It’s like asking your doctor if you should give drinking another try after your second stint in rehab.

  9. Shut him down for the season and stay the hell away from the Saints medical staff for the specialist opinions. Carr has nearly broken him. It’s time for this bullshit to stop.

  10. Man, losing Olave would be tough, he’s been such an asset. Here’s hoping the specialists give him the all-clear. Health comes first

  11. Bro season is toast, sit it out for the rest of the year and get 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th opinions
