I’d play on concrete for that.

Hard natural surfaces and ANY natural surface in bad weather conditions are far more treacherous.

Not saying he’s lying, I just think he’s in a little bit of denial. I think he will find next season that what is wrong with his knees is…….his knees.

I don’t blame him for wanting to play on grass for whatever time he has left in his career. He’s not going to be able to walk well the rest of his life, so might as well sock some money away with future earnings.

Great guy and a class act. I wish him nothing but the best.

He didn’t say he won’t play on it. He said he’s trying to minimize how much he plays on it. Let’s see – he can play on it a MAXIMUM of 8 games going to a team that doesn’t play on it (I doubt there’s any scenarios were all 8 away games are on field turf) or he can play a MINIMUM of 8 games by staying in the Meadowlands.

The condition of fields in the midwest and northeast late in the year was the motivation for field turf. Check out Pittsburgh late in the year. All levels of football use it and it is a bad surface late in the year.

I feel like he hasnt been on the team in two years though because hes always been injured. Id like to see him do good somewhere else but i really have my doubts that he will be able to play anywhere close to a full season whether he plays on grass or turf. His knees are destroyed and he has never been able to get his playing weight down to help avoid injury. The jets have been and will be fine without him.
