Maybe I am getting old, but I just don't remember that.  If you say it happened, I am sure it did, but I just don't remember.

Brown gave up and stopped giving effort, and "was excused" from the last game of the season for "personal reasons," and released after the season.

 

I understand Rico's anger at it.  But it's not the same thing as retiring in the middle of a game.

Does anyone recall this happening with other NFL teams? The quitting/retiring in the middle of an actual game that (ostensibly) counts? I'm pretty sure it's happened in the NBA, but right now I can't remember who/when.

BTW, good info on arbitration/recovery of cap money, etc. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out.

Only one I recall was legarrette Blount walking off the field when he played for the Steelers. He didn’t quit the team but he quit the game. Tomlin cut him the next day and then he re-signed with the pats

Ahh, thanks. I do remember that. There's a lot of documented cases of guys refusing to go into a game (in a blowout, etc.), but I'm still coming up empty on a guy actually retiring mid-game.
