Tim Brown to retire, as a Raider

Not that there was any chance, but Tim Brown officially will not be returning to the Buccaneers. An Oakland Raider official announced Wednesday that Brown will retire as a Raider.

"Tim will sign a one-day contract and retire as a Raider," team spokesman Mike Taylor said. There will be a press conference later in the month.

Brown spent his first 16 NFL seasons in Oakland before being released, then picked up by the Buccaneers. He had just 24 catches and one touchdown, but it gave him 100 career TDs and it did come at Oakland.

Maybe he trashed it because it was stupid.

Dumbass athletes like to do this but the record will show that Timmy retired as a Bucc just as Emmitt retired as a Cardinal.

Hah, no only in your pint sized mind.
Emmitt was a Cowboy, and Brown a Raider, and they both will be forever remembered that way.

what's wrong with it oh mighty tibor? I would love to hear your "logic" behind your post.

If that is the case, why the need to go back to their original teams in a sham contract before they retire?

The same reason we have to read your sham posts before we get back on topic.

Uh... what's the record you speak about that will show they retired a Bucc and Card ?

:sleep2:

when you look at their career stats, what will the last entry be?
On their HOF plaque, will it give any mention that they pretended to end their career with the Raiders or Cowboys? I doubt it.

 

[Brutus1]

Nah, it will say Brown-Raiders
Smith- Cowboys.

It's pretty cut and dried.

:crazy:

The NFL is a business organization, and as such has personnel rules like other large organizations do. A player can play 20 seasons with a team and then his final season with another, and yet he will be listed as retired from the team he was a member of when he retired, regardless of the 20 seasons spent with the other team. Same thing in the military. We have several active duty Air Force sergeants in our operations center who are former Marines. When they retire from the Air Force, that's what they'll be--retired Air Force. Their retirement pay will come from the Air Force, their records maintained by the Air Force, etc. Their time in the Marine Corps counts as active duty service towards retirement, but doesn't come into play as far as retirement status or titles. Similar rules apply in the NFL (although retirement pay comes from the NFL pool itself, rather than a specific team). So, if a player wants to be officially known as retired from the team he wants to be retired from, he'll do what Brown is doing...it's purely a personnel move.
