So he either is turning to pastorhood or will un-retire when teams become desperate later??

wow, sounds like Worilds got his feelings hurt because no team was willing to meet his price...

you know I don't think you are far off. I think many players overvalue themselves and it's shocking to them when they don't command the type of money they think they deserve. Thing is, most of the teams will have exhausted their cap if he chooses to come back and he will make much less and only for the rest of the season to boot. He better be damn sure because he is probably turning down over 25 million by retiring.

My only question is this: How does this help us cap wise?

Zero impact to us since Worilds was a free agent and didn't count against our cap number

This is really shocking, but maybe he has other legit interests and doesn't live for football

Yeah, I forgot he was a free agent for a minute there when I posted this.

no wonder why he never really amounted to anything, his heart wasn't in the game!

what really sucks we get no comp for next years draft losing him.

moats and jj and rookie/Harrison(?) lot of questions... could be below avg to above avg, roll of the dice!

Patrick Willis is unimpressed

funny how this works

I can believe this. It just depends on if Jason Worilds considers himself to be a normal person as opposed to an overly entitled schmuck like many football players.

Consider this: If he found a very safe investment and put most of his earnings away last season (a single game check under the transition tag was almost equal to his 2013 annual salary), he could live very comfortably off of the interest in perpetuity.

4th round comp pick down the drain

......and why announce this on the second day of free agency. Seems strange they would take calls for a few days, then announce.

I guess he was willing to bang up his body for X amount and when teams didn't offer that, he retired. Strange decision but not shocking.

I think he has been struggling with this transition for more than a day or two.
good luck to him, hope hes found what makes him happy.

I have no issue with Worilds. Kudos to him. He worked hard for 5 years and earned about $15M; who on this board wouldn't jump at that. Maybe he is will actually and able use that free college education he got and live comfortably for the rest of his life versus the money chasers who burn through their earnings and then sue the NFL to try to stay on the gravy train.
