TD Out For Good?

It sounds like Terrell Davis is thinking very seriously about retiring. The article talks about what a great player he was and let's you think that there would be no shame in his retiring. Man, this guy must owe the Broncos some big money. If I recall correctly - and I'm not certain that I do - Terrell renegotiated his contract the season before the injuries started. He hasn't had a full year in like four seasons now. The article calls him arguably the best back of the '90s. I think that's a stretch. There were two years when he was dominant, but not the whole decade. I think you have to look at Emmitt Smith or Barry Sanders if you're looking to pick the best back of the decade. For a while it looked like it would be sensible to talk about Sanders and Smith and Davis and maybe even Payton in the same sentence. Now, the kid gets to retire a millionaire at 29. Very disappointing.
