he never officially retired, so he would have received a roster bonus

I know he didn't retire. What made you think I didn't know that?

I'm saying rather than just retire, perhaps he is forcing the Falcons to release him so that he can sign with the Chiefs for a day and retire as a Chief. But you'd think that would be a simple request he could make, so given the fact that they're making it out to be kind of an ugly situation, it makes you wonder if he isn't really wanting to play elsewhere. It's not a big deal to me either way.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
