There are some noteworthy players who have officially retired this offseason that I failed to include:
Marshall Faulk: Mortal lock first ballot Hall of Famer.
Will Shields: Probable Hall of Famer.
Tiki Barber: Just misses the Hall of Fame, 2 more productive seasons might have clinched it.
Keyshawn Johnson: nice career, but what little speed he had left him early on.
Drew Bledsoe: also a nice career, but Hall of Famers don't get pushed to the bench by J.P. Losman and Tony Romo (Tom Brady is acceptable).
Jake Plummer: HA!
Bob Whitfield: Props for a nice career.
What about coaches?
Bill Parcells: He turned around horrible teams repeatedly, bigger than Giuliani in New York, lock Hall of Famer.
Bill Cowher: 13th all time in wins, 1 Super Bowl, I don't see it. If he's a Hall of Famer, Mike Holmgren could retire today and be a Hall of Famer, and Holmgren doesn't quite have a HOF resume. Cowher could of course return to coaching after a year off, though.
And contributors to the game
Paul Tagliabue: Believe it or not, he's not a lock because some of the voters reportedly have a bad history with him, extremely likely, though.
