Comments on: Knox was under contract for 2013 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/02/12/knox-was-under-contract-for-2013/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Fri, 24 May 2013 01:00:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: edavidberg http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/02/12/knox-was-under-contract-for-2013/#comment-2334292 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 03:44:56 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1734652#comment-2334292 The point was Knox slipped on the INT that got Cutler hurt. If Cutler doesn’t go down, everything could be different for the rest of the season. Its a bit of a stretch but that was the point. I wish Knox the best that was a horrific injury but he still has a long life ahead of him.

You could make a very good case that the terrible Soldier Field grass cost him his career. If he doesn’t slip vs Sd causing an int Cutler doesn’t break his thumb making a tackle and it probably changes the rest of the Bears season and who knows if the play vs Seattle ever takes place.

————————————

You have no idea what you are talking about. The play happened after Knox caught a 17 yard pass, fumbled the ball, and then tried diving after the loose ball at the same time a defender dove in the opposite direction. He never slipped, the field had nothing to do with it. Knox had a ton of potential and what happened was a tragedy, but don’t just start pointing fingers for the sake of arguing.

but don’t forget the NFL is a biz first. Is Knox ready to comeback?. Looks like the Bears never even gave him a shot.

They sure as hell gave him a shot…a shot of cash into his accounts for the effort he put in. bears did right by him.

Knox is not playing again and even if he does what team is the one that will have him paralyzed or worse when he gets nailed again.

Johnny is under 150lbs right now and can’t run without assistance.

They paid him for the balance of 2011 and the entire 2012 season while he rehabbed. Dude is lucky to be alive…take some of that cash and figure something else out.
