Ex-Cowboys TE Jamar Hunt Suing For Injuries From Tent Collapse

A former Dallas Cowboys player who was inside the team's indoor practice facility when it collapsed last year contends the accident caused a career-ending injury and he wants unspecified damages from the builder and companies operated by team owner Jerry Jones. Tight end Jamar Hunt, who was on the Cowboys' roster as a rookie free agent last spring, said in a court filing that he suffered "serious, disabling and permanent injuries" when the tentlike structure fell on May 2, 2009. Hunt was cut by the Cowboys before training camp last year and has yet to catch on with another NFL team. Hunt's attorney, Michael Guajardo, said the player suffered a herniated disk in his neck when a steel support landed on him. He said Hunt, who is also a deep snapper, faces a "double-edged sword" because he can't be cleared to play without surgery, but having the surgery will brand him as a damaged commodity to NFL teams. "You see NFL players bouncing back from this (injury), but those are veteran players with a history of success," Guajardo said. "With a rookie, teams are reluctant to take a chance. The biggest loss for him is losing his dream to play in the NFL."

What was this injury? He got a sore sitting on his ass? As it is, there's the UFL and AFL. Get the surgery and STFU.

I feel like this lawsuit will hinder him playing in the NFL. That and him sucking.
