Bledsoe, 35, decides to walk away:

Beat me too the punch Grid. I am surprised he did not stick around and make some more bread as a back up.

Not by much Wink

His decision came unexpected but I'm not that surprised. He has never been happy as a backup and he has nothing left to prove....not holding a clipboard anyway.

It does not happen very often but sometimes it is nice when they just walk away.

I'm glad that he had the guts to walk away when he did! Most players waiver between going 'Out on top' and 'playing, just to play!'

Jerry Rice could be an example of 'playing just to play', when he should have retired 'on top' of the game!

I guess it's very tempting to try to keep the good times going when you're on top.

i agree with what julie said
do you think his retiring had anything to do with the fact that he wouldnt start next year? Huh
