I can't believe Willis is retiring at just 30 years old. Hopefully we find out it's medically-related, otherwise, well... wow.

He has been hurt off and on for last 3 seasons now. Adventually the nagging injuries add up. Sure it is medical. It has to be, FA is just getting started. So it is not because no one would sign him or something.

He wasn't a free agent, though, that's the crazy part. He's under a well-paid contract for the next two years. He's going to have to pay the 49ers a lot of money for the pleasure of quitting his job...

Didn't know he was under contract. So, yes it has to be medical. I don't remeber if he was the one with back issues?

And they lost Gore(who's ahing but still lead that team in rushing) and alledgely have Kaep on the block. Me thinks it's rebuilding time in SF.

Willis was a beast for a number of years, but injuries can slow anyone down. Atleast he was smart to call it quits before making it worse on his body.

Maybe he'll sign w the Lions for the league minimum just to have the honor of wearing Bubbles. Get it done Mayhew.
