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.
