Chris Samuels out for the Season, maybe Career

Report: Washington Redskins' Chris Samuels may sit rest of year - ESPN

Hate to see his career end, but it is probably in his best interest. I didn't know he had to wear a brace to support his neck. That is really scary. I hope he can live a long, healthy life.

Neck injuries are not something to take lightly. He needs to protect his health first and foremost.

Man i hate to hear that, he was a good one. One of Bama's best. Hope he recovers completely.

I hate to see it, but he has had a long career for a lineman.

I wouldn't mind seeing him come back to the capstone and teach, if we ever needed to fill a position.

I hate to hear this.... Years ago when Chris was a Freshman @ Bama I had the opportunity to meet him and his parents and at that time my kids where infants... Chris and his family where an absolute pleasure and they all went out of their way to be nice; even Chris allowing a pic with me and my kids! Just a class act; and I only wish him the best! RTR!!!!

I used to be a big fan of his until I heard about a couple of things he's done. I heard he said that if South Alabama would have had a football team when he was in high scholl that he would have gone there. Not a big deal, but where's the love for UA?

What really soured me on him was when the media asked he and Clinton Portis about Vick. I saw him chuckle about the torturing of dogs and laugh at the questions while Portis said dogfighting was no big deal. I lost all respect for him right then. He was a heck of a ball player, though.

I am a big Chris Samuels fan and I remember all the good things he did while at the UA and after he left. Weighing him on his entire body of work he will always be one of the greats.

He is a great football player and human being. He will be fine after football...

If I played for Washington I would retire.
