Oft-injured McGee wonders ‘what if’ as Bills career ends - Sports - The Buffalo News
"You wonder, 'What would it have been like if I stayed healthy?' That's what I don't want to leave the game wondering. I know it would eat me up for the rest of my life. I want to be healthy for a season and then be able to leave the game with my head held high."
You can sense how hard it was for Terrence McGee to get the call from the Bills, and also how hard he worked to overcome his recent football injuries. He's open to the idea of a return to Buffalo, but knows he needs to get his knee healthy before any team will sign him. As one of the bright spots over the last several years, it's tough to see a guy like McGee go, and it's obviously tough for him to leave, too.
