"I am retiring from football after much reflection and discussion with my family," Locker said in a statement, via Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports. "I will always be grateful for having had the opportunity to realize my childhood dream of playing in the NFL and for the lifelong relationships I developed because of that experience. Football has always played a pivotal role in my life and I love the game, but I no longer have the burning desire necessary to play the game for a living; to continue to do so would be unfair to the next organization with whom I would eventually sign. I realize this decision is surprising to many, but I know in my heart that it is the right decision and I look forward to spending more time with my family and pursuing other interests."

Standup guy. If you know the stats the average career span of an NFL player is actually less than 4 years. Only 26, younger than Kaepernick.

He's had it pretty rough, even going back to Washington, so I understand why he might have lost his love for the game.

Was hoping he would become the Niner's backup. He opened up a gym about 15 minutes from my house "the Locker Room"... it's in his hometown of Ferndale WA. I guesst that's his "plan" from here on out.
