Not a suprise, he's just not the same back. I think they will look for a thumper to go with Mccoy.

I hope he retires. Thanks for everything, Brian.

I agree Dawk. Good luck Brian on your future. He had a good career.

Whoa! Even though i wasn't shocked cause it was eventually gonna happen.... It still hits you hard that it is in fact true. Thank you for all the great memories B-West!

times are tough for "older" running backs. westbrook has always been my 2nd favorite back, right behind deuce. good luck in the future brian.

i dont think he has any plans to retire....i could see him in minnesota with childress, not a heavy workload with peterson and they will be needing someone to replace taylor. hes always been a good blocker and receiver. just a thought

That actually makes perfect sense! Him and Peterson would make a sick backfield

he's one big hit from possibly being impaired ... while the site of him wearing another uniform would hurt seeing him having issues in the future would be a really sad thing.
