    The link was working earlier, but anyway the link didn't say why he was retiring it just said he was going to annouce his retirement on thursday. I don't know why he retired, maybe a career ending injury?

    Same here, because I just checked about him being injured. He was probable for their last game last season (Panthers, playoffs). I doubt he'd retire because of a injury that had him listed as probable.Edit: He did play in the Panthers game, and he injured his neck in it. And he had hip surgery recently. So he is going to retire probably because a not-so-good surgery and/or neck problems.

    Its official<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Bears | Azumah retiresThu, 23 Mar 2006 11:30:05 -0800The Associated Press reports Chicago Bears CB Jerry Azumah has retired after a seven-year tenure in the NFL. Azumah, 28, retired due to neck and hip pain the past two seasons. "This has been a great ride," Azumah said. "It's nothing to cry about or hold my head down to. Just looking at everything I accomplished and achieved, being here with the Bears and how they've embraced me, has been tremendous."</div>

    He was only 27 when he retired. Sucks for him cuz the Bears were just starting to get good.

    So long, Jerry. And He wasn't going to be a big part. He was used mainly in the nickel package. And we have Vasher and Berrian to return kicks
