Ryan Shazier injury

I know what it feels like to not be able to walk properly (I have CP and walk like Fred G. Sanford) so I kind of know what he's going through.

But I was driving myself nuts when I was reduced to wagon duty one summer, it's not fun.

If he doesn't play again, wouldn't shock me if we offered him a front office job. They did the same for Gabe Rivera in 1983 but he was so depressed he turned the Chief down.

I don't know if this means he's walking but it is a good sign.

Great news. I'd like to see him working in the FO or even one day as a coach. I think his playing days are over. Gotta love his attitude.

GM Kevin Colbert confirms that Ryan Shazier will not play in 2018. Says he knows that and that Ryan knows. He will have a part on the team, though.

Great news! Shazier standed without any assistance at OSU. That's a big step in his recovery, I'm very optimistic that he will be able to walk and live a normal life again!

Steelers convert almost all of Shazier's salary to bonus for 2018. He gets a large payout immediately. If you scroll through the Tweets, Dale Jr. approves of this action.

This opens the possibility for a new cheap contract for Shazier in 2019. If they would've kept the 8M+ in base salary this year, a new contract for Shazier would have meant a minimum base salary of 9M in 2019. With now only a base salary of less than $500000 they can sign Shazier in 2019 for a base salary of about $700000. It also gives Shazier more time to come back if he wants to as the Steelers can place him relativaly cheap on the PUP-list in 2019, something that they couldn't have done with the previous contract.

reality check.

looks good and all but Shazier isn't coming back if he did he would never be the same player he was before his injury.

Really don’t want to piss on anyone’s parade but Shaziers playing days are over. That’s the reality of the situation.

I know and I hope he's not coming back. Just saying why he and the Steelers made this deal.
