What I wonder if they do make this breakthrough is what will the players reaction be? You may think that it will lead to immediate retirements, and it likely would, but do consider how many players either:
-Will refused to get tested.
-Understand that it's likely their only opportunity in life to make millions.
-Or just love the game too much and are willing to take later life risks for playing the game.
There are likely more that fall into these three categories than we think. And if many players aren't willing to take the risk, there are many that will be willing to take their place.
So maybe the dilemma the NFL would face is: do they completely ****ify the game to get players to stay? Or be willing to at least in the short term accept a dilution in talent?
