It still seems so random; week 2 at halftime. My only guess is that he contemplated retiring during the off-season and said to himself he'd play one game to see if his heart was still in it. That loss to Baltimore made the decision easy.
If I had to guess it might have something to do with the league pension. I’ve heard from a few former players that you have to make it 10 years to get a nicer pay day from the pension. Perhaps he had to suit up to get credit for playing this season? Just a guess on my part I have no idea. It’s odd.

well he better of retired. I cant see some team saying I want you on my team when you quit at the Half.

Coach - "I said I want you to play the full 30 minutes!!!"

Yeah to do that, he had to be wavering from the get go...you never go back into a locker room as a player again after a move like that.

I'm not sure how one comes making about this decision mid game...at least finish the game and get that game check, but clearly it wasn't about the money.
