Man, have you been hitting the sticky like Telvin and Rollerjag?

Guy cranked out 1000 yard seasons every season he was a starter here, except 2003 when he only played 12 games.  Retiring the season after having 1000/70/6 is pretty abrupt

Thought the circulating rumor at that time was that he was potentially facing another suspension for substance abuse going into 2006. The media questioned him about it. His retirement was abrupt. He decided to call it quits in the middle of May. This was well after the draft and well after having a good look at some of the better free agents available at that time. 

I remember being pissed off as a kid because it changed the way this front office would have approached that draft at the WR position. Some good ones came out of the class too between Santonio Holmes, Greg Jennings, Marques Colston & Brandon Marshall.

They were coming off a 12 - 4 season in 2005. And then fell to 8 - 8 in 2006 because they had to rely on guys like Reggie Williams, Matt Jones & Ernest Wilford. Which none of those guys had shown the ability to be a true No. 1 receiver yet in their 2nd & 3rd years.

Jimmy really [BLEEP] this team over going into 2006.
