    While attention is focused on Favre, the quarterback most likely to retire is former Oakland Raiders signal caller Kerry Collins.
    Kerry Collins apparently would rather watch games on TV than from the sidelines. Those who know Collins say he is seriously considering retirement, and it would not be surprising if he never played another down in the NFL.

    Having made the money he has over 12 seasons in Carolina, New Orleans, New York and Oakland, Collins doesn't have the burning desire to play football the way he once might have.
    The only team that has spoken with him about the possibility of playing for it this season is the Baltimore Ravens. But the Ravens aren't offering Collins, 33, Collins enough money right now to make it worth his while.
    If a more lucrative offer doesn't materialize -- and it doesn't look like it will -- Collins is finished with football.

    Collins hasn't had any interest in football since Romo gave him the free dental work. Besides, I don't think he beats Boller out in Baltimore either.

    To be honest, I think Collins is much better than Boller. He is at his best in a run-oriented offense. In fact, he is better than most of the #2 QBs in the league and could still be a starter. I think it is a bluff.

    I'm 100% behind him if he quits in the off-season. It's quitting on your team in the middle of the season that was shitty, but anyone can lose their passion for something and you can't really blame a guy for walking away.

    you could actually say he has some desire to play as he would rather play than watch from the sidelines, where he could easily make a million a year. that or he has a lot of money saved up.
    he lives offseason out in Troy, near Asheboro, where he raises horses on a ranch.

    Troy's actually closer to Albemarle. 3 of the offsite medical locations I have to support are in Troy. Make regular trips there for that reason alone. His wife is from Kannapolis, and that's what made them build this close.
