“I can’t play anymore,” Gay said. “I wish I could, but I’m still having symptoms from concussions. I went on IR (in 2010) with the headaches and the symptoms. I wanted to try again, but I can’t really do anything. Hard, physical activities, I get headaches and nauseous and dizzy and stuff. I’d still like a chance in the NFL, but it’s not worth it. The symptoms are still there, so I had to stop. I don’t need to play anymore. I had to make a decision.”
He'll have more on it in tomorrow' paper.

Sounds like he's dealing well with it and had the good sense to walk away. Hope he saw a good chunk of that $17M deal with NO, and banked it. It's the fringe guys I worry about. The elite guys make a ton of money for their sacrifices, albeit too often squandered, but the fringe players in this game absorb a ton of abuse often in a compressed time frame for comparative peanuts. ABrandt tweeted this AM that Kevin Garnett has made $288M in his NBA career... That's almost twice what an only an elite QB could hope to make in an NFL career. I'd still prefer to see the floor raised for NFL at the expense of the ceiling when it comes to base salary structure in this league so that guys who claw their way onto rosters, often from PS and by playing ST and absent big chunks of bonus money, reap a more realistic share of the potential rewards.
I can safely say that he was player that I never even remotely considered buying one of the Pats Jerseys with his name on the back.
I've got one, and it is a hoot to wear out in public. Starts all kinds of conversations, and leads to a lot of laughs. Pats fans generally love it, and my gay friends (for once) don't know what to say.

He'll most be remembered for his role in the superbowl:
