This is why 1 year deals are such a risk for good players.

shame.. i was so looking forward to seeing him in action last season..

wish him nothing but the best for sure

The dude was completely crippled by that punk DJ Swearinger. I'd like to think karma kicked Houston's a$$ this year with all their expectations resulting in the NFL's worst record. It's tragic what happened to Keller, hopefully he didn't blow through most of his money so he can enjoy after football, which is very possible that he won't ever play in the league again.

Shame because he was a darn good player, and Miami would've had monster potential with him and Clay lined up on the same offense.

I've honestly stopped reading James Walker posts. While I agree that Keller probably won't be re-signed, this little blurb isn't really news, just some guy's guess while looking over the roster. And that is basically what he does, just make guesses that anyone of us could throw out or repeat something a beat writer said 24 hours earlier.

If ESPN is just looking for someone to parrot what other reporters say and make guesses then I'll happily change careers and accept that paycheck to cover the AFC East.

Dustin Keller is unlikely to ever play again on any team.

They projected 12+ months before he would be able to play... HGH could speed that up tho...

HGH could also speed up a recurring injury.

I think his NFL career is over. If he gets a shot, it will be on a short-term, incentive based contract and he will likely not be a starter again.

It sucks. It should be Swearinger who's out of a career.

darn shame... that hit was illegal as *#@$8 and likely ended his career. Could have gone till late 30s...

Nerve damage usually results in injuries that severe. At the very least arthritis which ends the careers of many RBs.

Even if he made a miraculous comeback, the emergence of Charles Clay would have sealed the deal on his coming back to the Dolphins. That was $4.25 million not playing for us last year, and that is sad because the Dolphins could have used a Keller/Clay combo.

Keller at TE and Clay at FB/TE2 is killer in Madden.

I still believe that was a career ending injury for Keller.
