Vin+ 3,121 Posted August 5, 2012 Bears WR Devin Thomas announced his retirement from football. Thomas fell well short of expectations required for the 34th overall pick in the '08 draft, but he had carved out a career in recent seasons as a gung-ho special teamer. Apparently tired of doing the dirty work, Thomas calls it quits after after 43 receptions, 482 yards, and three TDs over four NFL seasons.

Eefluxx 113 Posted August 5, 2012 I want to say all of his TD's came against the Saints. That guy used to kill us for whatever reason when we played the Redskins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Omerta+ 1,206 Posted August 5, 2012 Man I dont understand why dudes do this. Even if it is just special teams get the money while you can, because what jobs does he have after this that will pay him what he is getting now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blotsfan 2,112 Posted August 5, 2012 Man, I remember when I wanted the Bills to take him. Thank goodness we didn't and ended up taking James Hardy instead... (ok stevie johnson in the 7th worked out at least) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tcMAGSnfc9 1 Posted August 13, 2012 Man I dont understand why dudes do this. Even if it is just special teams get the money while you can, because what jobs does he have after this that will pay him what he is getting now. It's hard to get inside their heads You just figure this guy retires because one; lost interest. 2; he can't compete at the highest level. 3; to many injuries. who knows really where his head is but all we can do is wish him luck and ask why why why and move on.

Milla4Prez63 678 Posted August 14, 2012 I wanted him really bad that year, I guess I'm glad we took Talib but he didn't come without his fair share of headaches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
