    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>A QB READY TO RETIREWhile attention is focused on Favre, the quarterback most likely to retire is former Oakland Raiders signal caller Kerry Collins.Kerry Collins apparently would rather watch games on TV than from the sidelines.Those who know Collins say he is seriously considering retirement, and it would not be surprising if he never played another down in the NFL.Having made the money he has over 12 seasons in Carolina, New Orleans, New York and Oakland, Collins doesn't have the burning desire to play football the way he once might have.The only team that has spoken with him about the possibility of playing for it this season is the Baltimore Ravens. But the Ravens aren't offering Collins, 33, Collins enough money right now to make it worth his while.If a more lucrative offer doesn't materialize -- and it doesn't look like it will -- Collins is finished with football.</div>

    Ravens will probably end up overpaying him on like a 2 year deal..... [​IMG]

    He should retire. He can't seem to make it happen on the field.

    I guess the fact of the matter is that he thinks he's worth more than what the Ravens are willing to play him, and he's not willing to play another season of football for less than he is worth. Maybe he is bluffing so he can get his way?

    I wouldn't say Collins was ever "really good", not to mention he didn't change much as a player when he left for Oakland (statswise)

    Got da G-Men to a SB. Then got raped, but that's not what matters. I don't think he should retire. Give it a go, if you're not having fun when the season starts, then call it quits.
