It's only been the last 2 years injuries have really caught up to him, starting with the concussion in '09.

I wouldn't be shocked at all if CP retired. He's made mountains of cash as a Redskin, and he's publicly saying he's not into football like he used to be. There have been star RBs (Shaun Alexander comes to mind) who have gone from great to out of the league in a matter of a few seasons.

CP can't seem to stay healthy anymore, he's on the wrong side of 30, and has a ton of mileage. He's not gonna get a big pay day from anyone. I could honestly see him hanging it up.

Shaun Alexander was the guy who shocked me the most with how he ended up out of the NFL.

The guy was a beast in Seattle, and even though he had that 1 injury year, i felt for sure he would be back in the NFL. When we got him for that 1 season, i was shocked at how bad he looked. Its like his career ended overnight. And it did, in hindsight.
