Congenital neck condition.

I don't think his replacement is currently on the roster.Just as he takes over and looks great. Tough break, GL to him.
On to the part that matters for our rosters.... is the replacement ILB on the roster already, and someone we might be able to add?
Agreed. Correa hasn't shown enough. They'll be on the market for a replacement.I don't think his replacement is currently on the roster.
Coming out of retirement apparently
Doctors initially told Orr he was at risk of death or paralysis by playing with the condition, which he's had since birth. But former Baylor quarterback Seth Russell told Orr he should visit Sanford Emery, a West Virginia spine specialist who treated Russell when he suffered a neck injury in 2015.
Russell's advice sparked another round of medical evaluations. Orr said several doctors have told him he's at no more risk of serious injury than a player with a fully formed spine. Doctors told Orr their only concern would be if he played with herniated discs. The herniated discs he suffered last season have subsided.
"As far as me physically, mentally, I'm ready to go," Orr said. "I'm feeling better than ever. I'm feeling like I have these past offseasons and everything like that. So I'm ready to go."
There's another twist to Orr's story: If he chooses to play again, he can sign with any team immediately as an unrestricted free agent. If he hadn't retired, he would've been a restricted free agent this offseason.
Orr didn't file retirement papers in January and the Ravens didn't place him on their reserve/retired list because no one expected him to play again. The period to extend tenders to restricted free agents has passed without the Ravens tendering Orr -- a move the Ravens didn't consider because they assumed he would stay retired.
Jerry Jones is creaming his pants.Oakland, more of bothTennessee. Lotta money, no good starters.
That's a league-specific setting to not show players who are not on NFL rosters. Commish can set it in the transactions settings.whiskey7 said:Dropped him when I heard he was retiring. Tempted to re-acquire now that he's attempting to continue his career. As someone mentioned already, he's listed as "Out" in MFL. In my league, he's not available to be added. That must be due to the way my commish has the settings? Or is that across all of MFL? Are those of you who have added him back playing on a different site?
Yep. That's what I figured. Thanks.That's a league-specific setting to not show players who are not on NFL rosters. Commish can set it in the transactions settings.
Would this guy please stop visiting places where I've got a guy in place and go somewhere else? First DET, then the Jets and IND. If this is any indicator, his next stop figures to be CIN or DEN.
Wth, go back to BAL, or over to OAK or DAL and sign the contract already.
OAK makes just too much sense. They desperately need a player and mentor for a couple of younger guys, and i think the could construct a nice prove it contract for both sides.
Because he has a neck that needs to prove itself to be NFL capable againOrr is in a large sellers market right now. Why would he sign a prove it contract?
Because he has a neck that needs to prove itself to be NFL capable again
Its nothing to do with his ability.
This is my point. It might not appear to be a one year deal, but I bet it is structured to protect the team in case of any other neck issues. If he proves his neck is ok, the multiple years will kick in.It may be an incentive based deal to protect the team if his neck forces him to re-retire, but I agree he's not likely to sign a 1 year deal anywhere.
Funny, that.He's available in all my MFL leagues. Or rather, he WAS available.
Seems like he decided to come back at the worst possible time.Not being signed yet can't be a good sign. If he hasn't found someone to roll the dice on his neck by now, will he ever?
And now?It's barely been more than a week since Orr got other medical opinions that allow him to play again. There are allegedly up to 18 teams interested in speaking with him. TCs don't start for a while yet. Of course he hasn't signed yet.
And now?
You were awful quick and dismissive of the question/concern I had about the timing and wondering how you see it now. Seemed like a pretty straightforward question.
Zachary Orr - LB - Free Agent
The Miami Herald's Barry Jackson reports free agent LB Zachary Orr (neck) has yet to be medically cleared.
Orr retired shortly after last season due to a neck issue, but he quickly announced his desire to return to playing after receiving second and third opinions. Unfortunately for him, it's going to be tough to gain clearance from an NFL club during this day and age. The Dolphins are looking for linebacker help.
