Why take a chance on a guy that might have a chronic problem? Sure the surgery might go well and things might be fine for a while, but then boom, he gets hurt again. Back problems are no joke, and they rarely are totally permanently healed. You also have to think, if it really is a serious problem and the surgery does do the job, he probably shouldn't be playing football for awhile, so he most likely would take a year off in rehab and to heal. Would you want to subject your spine to that type of punishment so soon after surgery?
