When is enough, enough?

The Miami Dolphins apparently want Trent Green to be back in their quarterback mix for 2008.

Dolphins football operations chief Bill Parcells and General Manager Jeff Ireland have reached out to Green to express their interest in his return.

“There have been conversations about Trent returning, pending his health issues,” Green’s agent, Jim Steiner, said Monday night. “The conversations are just getting started, and they will be ongoing for quite some time.
Green has “got a huge passion for the game, and he’s passing his medical tests 100 percent,” Steiner said.

But Green still hasn’t made up his mind whether he wants to resume a career that has been waylaid by concussions in each of the past two seasons.

Green, who wants to enter broadcasting once he retires, spent the playoffs commentating for ESPN and the NFL Network and appeared to be having fun.

I could only imagine being a professional athlete at the end your career and having to make a decision about whether or not to leave your sport. However, after two seasons in which he’s suffered multiple head injuries, isn’t it time for Green to call it a day? He’s no spring chicken anymore and nobody is going to mistake the Dolphins’ offensive line for the Patriots. I’d hate to see him risk injury again just because Parcells wants a veteran quarterback.
