I'll be shocked if he's still in the league beyond this calender year.

Yes, the grammar is somewhat off but, it seems like there's some Arrington-itis (conspiracy) going on. If the team thinks the alternate procedures are unproven, unsupported, and/or costly, be up front and tell the player. The team may think that his body isn't responding well since the initial surgery didn't help. I don't know. Now they've suggested a more drastic procedure to perhaps 'scare him' or throw him on the scrap heap. I'd like to know of other players who've had this surgery, successful or not. That's why it's all about the guaranteed money for NFL players. The last thing this team needs is anonther hole in the secondary. Damn.
