Hey guys. I haven't done The Update for a long time so here it is! Got a logo for it, too, which above! And also, make sure to check out the
blog of The NFL Update. Let's go!
Rodney Harrison Retires, Joins NBC
Patriots' safety, Rodney Harrison, has officially retired after a successful NFL career. He played for two teams in 15 years. He played for the San Diego Chargers and went to a Super Bowl in his rookie year. While with the New England Patriots, where he spent most of his time in his career, he had won three Super Bowls.
Rodney Harrison will join Tony Dungy as they'll both be analysts on NBC's
Football Night in America, according to NFL.com.
"I'm done," Harrison said in a conference call with reporters. "And I'm very much at peace with that. Football has been good to me; I worked hard and I played hard."
Harrison, who retired at 36 years old, holds the record for most sacks for a defensive back with 30.5. He is also the only player to have at least 30 interceptions and sacks. People say that he was a dirty player, it was just that he was a hard-hitter and lovable guy off the field.
I wish all the luck to my man Rodney.
Agent Says That Vince Young DOESN'T Want to Be Traded
Vince Young's agent says that Vince Young doesn't want to be traded from the Tennessee Titans after losing his job to Kerry Collins. After making his comments on television in Baltimore, it sounded like he wasn't happy at all in Tennessee. Let's see what will happen.
"Vince's desire has always been to compete for the starting quarterback job in Tennessee," Young's agent said. "Even before they drafted him, they asked him if he thought he could compete for the starting role, and he said yes. He has always been a starter, and that is his mind-set."
Greg Ellis Cut
Linebacker, Greg Ellis, ends his eleven-year time with the Dallas Cowboys after being released today. He holds the number eight spot for sacks in Cowboys history. A week before, Jerry Jones said he already thought about cutting Ellis. Ellis right now has 77 sacks and more than 640 tackles.
Let's see where he ends up.
