Do you just say "well, he might have back issues and no test is sufficient, so we just assume he's damaged goods and move on"?
At some point, you have either to accept that any additional testing is superfluous and it's time to sign or no amount of additional testing is going to give you peace of mind and it's time to walk.

It stops after you get a decent season out of him.
We're 0 games removed from a season where a back injury seriously compromised him for 1/2 the year and eventually shut him down.
I want to see him come back next season and show that it wasn't a permanent injury. I've said it before, but back injuries are worse for O-lineman than anything else they can have. Knees heal, arms/elbows heal. Those back injuries always seem to get worse and worse.
I've seen too many O-Lineman brought down young by bad backs to be comfortable assuming he's sound based on a physical.
