Agree 100%. Even if he wants to keep playing, someone should step in and save Mike Wright. Like a corner man in boxing who knows it is dangerous for his fighter to continue even if the fighter wants to push on. Someone needs to toss the towel for this good man.

As much as I hate to say it, I agree. If he can't get through two games (he did play against the G-Men) without a concussion, he really needs to be thinking about retirement.

OTOH, money is not quite as important an issue as it used to be, b/c the new CBA allows players who are forced to retire b/c of injuries to collect up to $1.5M in salary over two years.

Guys - Mike is guaranteed the rest of his contract for this year because he was on the roster as of September 9th. In addition, he'd get another $1 million next year.

I hate that Wright got another concussion. I was one of the few who said he should hang it up this past off-season because I've seen what it can do to great athletes (Pat LaFontaine, Marc Savard, Eric Lindros, Dave Duerson, etc).

I also have to wonder if Wright switched helmets to a safer version or if he stuck with the same one from last year. I noticed that Brady switched helmets.

One would also wonder if Wright has that special mouth guard that one dentist developed that also is supposed to help prevent concussions.

Either way, Mike should hand them up. For his family.

Put Wright on IR and Re-Sign Moore would be best for Mike's health and the team

Better yet Mike should retire,we don't need another Ted Johnson scenerio Where injury exceeds football career

No complaints here. I would be all for either Moore (DE) or Warren (DT), depending on how Belichick would like to use the spot on the D-line..IF he chooses to use it on the D-line, although one would certainly assume that he would.

Since Wright was utilized primarily as an inside DT, I would think that you may be correct that Warren will be one of the first to come to mind. Especially if he is simply replacing one for the other. However, it will remain to be seen if Belichick wants someone of more versatility for both inside and out.

Then again, Mike is a competitor, and we aren't even sure as to what extent the latest concussion is. Even though it doesn't bode too well that he has already gotten another one, I am not going to write him off just yet.

A concussion is a concussion. The extent of it doesnt matter to me at this point. Wright has a history of concussion problems and it's not good that he missed most of last season because of concussion and then has another one in his FIRST game back.

We are deeper at DE considering we have Carter, Ellis, Anderson, Cunningham, Ninkovich.

DT we only have Wilfork, Haynesworth, Love, Pryor... and Haynesworth has never played a full 16 game season. Bringing G Warren back would be the best thing to do.

Oh, no doubt. It's horrible to hear.

Regardless, I am not writing him off until we hear more about it.

I was another of those who said hang it up.

We were in the minority, I think, but we weren't alone.
