@IAmDevinThomas
I have decided to retire from the NFL.


Another Vinny Cerrato pick bites the dust, and and Mike Shanahan gets another feather is his cap.

Good luck in your future endeavors playing the light skinned dude in crappy R&B videos, Devin. You shall not be missed.

"I..know..nothing!!!"

Kind of an odd way to go out, but congrats I guess. No matter what profession or adventures we land in, let us remember that hard work and dedication can always pull us through. Good luck to Devin

Damn I thought with all the pomp and circumstance facing him with the Giants last year he was surely headed to Canton, now it is just the Canteen.

I seriously hated when he was cut went to Giants and started trashing the Skins. What a waste of a pick. At least he went out on top with a SB ring.

Devin who?

[NLC1054]

Devin who?

He was this one guy who people said we'd regret cutting.

And then we didn't.

[Area51]

And now, only Fred Davis remains…

Vinny chose him and the Packers selected Jordy Nelson with the very next pick.

BTW, if I were a GM of other NFL teams with SB aspirations, I would look to sign high round Redskins busts. Desmond Howard won the Packers a SB trophy and Thomas’ two forced fumbles are the reason why the Giants got by the 49ers.

Hopefully, he decides to retire as a Giant. They wouldn't have won the Super Bowl without him.

Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.

Not in any way, shape or form trying to say it didn't make him a bust or anything else - by all means the kid was a great athlete who just sucked at playing receiver in the NFL. But he did come up big in against San Francisco - can't remember if he forced or recovered them but he was involved in both punt fumbles by the 49ers.

I have to wonder if this has anything to do with the neck injury he suffered when we played them or if he just doesn't want to keep going anymore...

Look at the tweet before that one. Seems he didn't log off a teammates computer.

Still, the above comments still apply.

You mean they MAY NOT have gotten TO the Super Bowl without him...and you're more than welcome to have him retire as a Giant ...quite the feather in your franchise's cap

Might be a prank from a teammate that got his phone when he wasn't looking.

[spjunkies]

That's pretty shocking, I thought he'd stick around the league as a special teamer.

best of luck to him in his future endeavors.
