Lewis: Pollack will retire
By Mark Curnutte

Bengals linebacker David Pollack has expressed to head coach Marvin Lewis that he is “headed to retirement,” Lewis said late this morning in a news conference.
“He is not completely comfortable where he is medically,” Lewis said. “We know the quality of the person. We’re proceeding that he will not be part of the football team.”
Pollack, the team’s first-round draft pick in 2005, fractured his C6 vertebrae in Game 2 of the 2006 season and has not played since.
Lewis said he spoke with Pollack a week ago, when Pollack told him of his decision.
“The good thing he is going to have an outstanding life,” Lewis said of Pollack.

Post a Comment*Does this have any salary cap implication?
David Pollack is a class individual and we wish him well in all he does. It's a real shame we never got to see him reach his potential but I'm sure life has other great opportunites for him to excel. Best of luck David!
Good for Him. A healthy life is much more important that sport.
Hopefully he can still work with the team in training or counseling. He is a class act and I think we could all learn from a guy like him. I could care less about the salery implications (which there shouldnt be any because he is retiring) it would just be nice to keep him around the locker room. Guys like Henry could have learned a thing or two from Pollack.
Carson Palmer will be MVP (just sayin)
Mike from bulldogs
Really sad Cincinnati never really got to see the guy SEC fans saw week to week when he was at Georgia.
Bengal fans would have loved that guy on the field.
Not to mention the better guy he is off it.
David,
You will be a success no matter where you go or what you do. Heart and soul is where it starts and ends, my friend, but you already knew that. You are wise beyond your years. You are a class act. Good luck to you and your family. No doubt, God is with you!!
Sad day in Bengaldom. God bless you David.
