UnitedWhofans Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 That's twice. Amazing. We think the Jets are bad. They are not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnleyJet Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 He's made his money, seemed his heart wasn't in it any more, playing for Lions can be tough. Barry Sanders retired around the same age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neckdemon Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 He's made his money, seemed his heart wasn't in it any more, playing for Lions can be tough. Barry Sanders retired around the same age. this is probably the smart play for him. get out before he just keeps getting injured and breaks down completely....becoming a shell of himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet_Engine1 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 If I was sent to Detroit, I would have retired years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleDecker Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Sucks for Detroit, but great choice from a quality of life standpoint for Calvin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-met57 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 chances are the doctors told him his injuries were degenerative and would continue to follow him. hard to go through the rigors of the NFL season knowing you are always playing hurt or are a play away from being injured.

Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 After watching Andre in Indy last year, I can understand, but Calvin is only 30, that team is going backwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Why lay your life and future on the line for a team that refuses to get better year in and year out? Not worth it. He's got plenty of money as long as he invested properly. Good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 IDK, I'd deal with the sprained ankles and general body soreness at 30 YO for $15,950,000. I'll believe he's really retired if he's still retired after the trade deadline next year. He probably wants out of Det, and doesn't want to be a dick about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 IDK, I'd deal with the sprained ankles and general body soreness at 30 YO for $15,950,000. No thanks. I'll take living in my mom's basement and judging people on the internet over Earl Campbell's quality of life the past couple decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take living in my mom's basement and judging people on the internet over Earl Campbell's quality of life the past couple decades. "For who??, for what??" You Ricky Waters that sh*te - for a $24 mill cap hit - get down, get out of bounds, alligator arm everything. Maybe pull a hammy, you don't practice...Ricky Waters and Allen Iverson having a baby with Randy Moss as your nanny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
