He would have retired if he had to, but he didn't because other teams wanted him, and one wanted him to the extent to offer a trade so ludicrously absurd that even the guy who turned down 1,346 picks for Akili Smith couldn't botch it!
Heck, I think the fact that he preferred to play in Oakland over Cincinnati should be a real wake-up call, not unlike the time that one girlfriend of mine left me for a class Q sex offender who lived in his mother's basement.
Why? Were the Raiders in any better of shape than the Bengals were and have been? If this was about tiring of being on a loser team with a horrible owner, he didn't do himself any favors by agreeing to go to the Raiders of all places.
