Why the hell is a receiver who's six-foot-six retiring in just his second year? What kind of job could he possibly have lined up that would be more lucrative than playing for the NFL veteran minimum?

He's not quite to the veteran part in his second year ;-)

But I agree, this was a shocker as I thought he might be able to be able to become an important role player. Of course I did read this, which suggest that in mini-camp, he was behind Yancey and Moore. If so, then maybe he saw the writing on the wall, or doesn't love it, didn't want to fight for it?



Though I have really been surprised at the amount of players across the league that have been signed and retiring before camp. Not even going try to battle it out through camp.
