Kerry Collins

Quarterback Kerry Collins on Thursday announced his retirement from the NFL.

"The past several months have brought on much introspection, and I have decided that while my desire to compete on Sundays is still and always will be there, my willingness to commit to the preparation necessary to play another season has waned to a level that I feel is no longer adequate to meet the demands of the position," Collins said in a statement released by his agent, David Dunn.

Assuming Collins stays retired, there is one less option out their for teams like the Titans & Caorlina who would like to sign a veteran QB to pair with their rookie. We're less excited about a Titans offense led by Jake Locker than we are by a vet like Collins.
