Where is Jake Long?

[tarun262]

He was the #1 pick less then a decade ago and he's no longer in the NFL??? I guess most OL have about a 7-10 year career so assuming his is done after just 7 years in the league?

Im not sure if he's still in the league but wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't. Dude made a fortune and can retire before 30 I would do it too.

Didn't he have some serious injuries? got some nice money and decided to enjoy life.

He went to Atlanta a few weeks ago and wasn't cleared to be healthy enough to play. Dr. Andrews cleared him in the last week so Atlanta brought him back into camp in the last couple of days. I'm not sure if they gave him another physical and what the results of that were, but it looks like if he's going to be playing this year it will be there.

He had a tryout with Atlanta and I believe the Titians. He has not been healthy enough to play until now.

I had heard it was down to the Falcons & Giants.
