Charvarius Ward needs to go ahead and do it. The Indianapolis Colts' cornerback suffered three concussions this season, and according to a tweet from an NFL news account, Ward is considering retiring this offseason. Why risk his quality of life after football for another season or two of the sport?
The truth is that while Indy general manager Chris Ballard could not have foreseen Ward getting hurt so many times, Ballard also overpaid for Ward. The cornerback was 29 years old, would be past 30 by the time his deal was done, and that is a risky age for a corner.
