Oh damn...Guess I have to do my first firing.
Congrats Chris friend, now you can afford to buy me craft beers
I could always afford it...I just don't want to buy them for you.
Save the Coors.

Really 30 hours for the first area is reasonable? I couldn't figure out where to go and I was trying not to use a guide so I just kept leveling up killing guys.
Not to bring Bradford up again....
but Reuben Frank thinks he's gonna retire.

Yeah...at least we get free lunch
They made me sign a form
I think I'm just going to cancel the SD trip....Dolphins are going to lose anyways.
Coors is about the only mass produced beer I can't drink. I can do Coors Banquet, but Coors Light is just awful to me
No just usually your first time through these games you don't know where to go and you usually die a lot so it takes a while. Like the first time I played DS I probably took 35 hours to get slightly past where you are. Then the second time thru I was used to the game and knew the layout, and that same area took me 45 minutes.
Good plan

I agree with him. If I was Sam I would definitely retire. No way would I help out Howie after what he did.

Might get a PS4 if they do the PS4.5 this year. I still have basically no free time... but... I might be back in.
WAIT FOR ME WITH BAITED BREATH
Congrats
Thing is...The Eagles would be able to take back the 5.5M they already gave him, wouldn't they?

Welcome to the club!
Now you need to work your way up to senior management and be on the road to the exec staff.
Let us have a power lunch and discuss delegation of tasks!

I'm working my way up! I'll PM you my company cell phone number as soon as it's set up!

Why would you just voluntarily give up $22m
I mean, it would be fantastic for the team if he retired.
Bradford plays for the love of the game and competing.

Well in this hypothetical I would already be rich and not need the money. Also it seems like the team can only get back a portion of the money, not all of it.
AbortedWalrusFetus
Member
They might not be able to get back all of the signing bonus, I don't know how that works, but any portion of regular salary would not have to be paid. Either way it would be a huge victory for the team. $5m paid to a signing bonus to hedge your bet in case you couldn't get a new QB? Fine by me!

Yeah, Bradford retiring would be helping out management

You guys are so ridiculous with this stuff. Bradford is so much better then Chase, plus if the Eagles go into the year with just Chase and Wentz and Chase gets hurt you have to play Wentz before you were ready to.

You have to be pretty fucking rich to turn down $22 million.
When you are about to retire and are only 30 I would play it out and take the money.
And the Jaguars claimed Bortles wouldn't play a full year but yet there he was starting in Week 6.
If Bradford is still on the roster, I doubt Wentz does play for much of the season (although I could easily see him get some play around week 12-14 if the Eagles are out of playoff contention).
Bradford does have the luxury of being the last class to get just insane money. Didn't he get nearly $70 million on his rookie contract?

What a waste. I was so excited when we got him in the second. Thought the Steelers got a bargain.

Congrats Chris.. I hope you are as successful a manager as this guy was
Just kidding friend.. You can obviously do better
Howie would get on his knees and thank god if this happened.
now all he has to worry about is Wentz being a bust..
You say he should walk away from $22M and we're the ridiculous ones?

In this hypothetical you are also like 30 years old and pretty much throwing in the towel on any future earning potential for the rest of your life, so you'd probably want to get every last dollar you could.
That's a lot of cheese but he probably spent some of that money and a lot went to taxes and some more to his agent.
He is retiring really early. He would be dumb to throw that money away. Hell I would tell him to play for even $10 million.
AbortedWalrusFetus

The only legit reason for him to retire is if he was worried about injury and didn't think the rewards were high enough for his career to risk a catastrophic injury.

If I had even a few million of that $60+ mil Bradford's already made, I'd be set for life. If you're even just a little bit competent with finances or can pay people who are to help you, money's not a major factor in this decision, the factors are "do you want to play for them after they lied to or misled you" and "are you okay knowing you might be unemployed next year anyway"
How bad is he going to get fucked up holding a clipboard?
WesternHeretic

What about you lying and misleading the organization and fans when you said you were a good QB and they should sign you and give you a nice contract before you have proven anything?
A few million is not a lot of money if you retire at age 30 unless you plan to live in a trailer park.
Fuck my financial guy tells me I need to save a few million to retire in 30 years!

If he's retiring it's because he's come to the conclusion (which all of NFL-GAF except for Pep) that 1, no team in the NFL wants him, even the one that signed him; 2, the one that signed him would gladly roll him out there long enough to have a multi-pick game so that the boos would send him reeling in a pool of tears down the tunnel while Philly fans cheer "Wentz! Wentz! Wentz!"
His options suck. Play for a team that would take him back but doesn't want him long-term, where he has to walk into the locker room where everyone thinks he's a little biiiiiiitch. Or retire, basically. He demanded a trade and nobody wants him. Not at his cost.
Now... if you're the Pats or the Cowboys or the Saints and you're looking to find a mediocre backup who can bridge you to the next guy once your current guy dies on the field within the next 2-3 years, then sure... here's a clipboard, Sam. But he's being paid starter money to start for ... nobody.
Especially if you're used to the QOL that an NFL QB can afford.

Multiple reports said the broncos offered a 4th for him, even with his $22m price tag. Howie turned it down because they really don't want to have to start Wentz before he is ready.
